What Does FTIR Stand For?

FTIR stands for Fourier Transformed Infrared

FTIR, or Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a sample. It utilizes the principles of Fourier transformation to convert time-domain data into frequency-domain data, allowing for the identification and quantification of chemical compounds based on their molecular vibrations. FTIR is widely applied in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and materials science, for the characterization of organic and inorganic substances.
