Dynamic infrared spectroscopy with a fast scan FTIR spectrometer

A normal fast scanning FTIR spectrometer can be used to obtain dynamic IR spectra by using a technique where information on the sample strain is saved along with each interferogram reading. Software is then used to find correlations between the interferogram data and sample strain and hence extract the time dependent components in the data.

Simple Techniques for Phase Correction in VCD Measurements

Two simple techniques are presented for the phase correction of circular vibrational dichroism FT-IR spectra which have been generated by using a photoelastic modulator.
