What it is

The Perkin Elmer Spectrum is a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An FTIR spectrometer uses an interferometer, typically a Michelson interferometer, to modulate the infrared light before it passes through the sample. A movable mirror in the interferometer creates a time-domain interference pattern called an interferogram, which contains all the spectral information simultaneously.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Common applications of FTIR spectroscopy include identification of organic compounds, analysis of polymers and plastics, detection of functional groups in unknown samples, and verification of raw materials in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing. In semiconductor and optics industries, FTIR is used for evaluating cleanliness, measuring film thickness, and analyzing surface contaminants.
