Fourier transforms for analytical atomic spectroscopy
Recently the search for new and improved analytical chemistry methods has led to investigations at several laboratories into the feasibility of applying Fourier transform spectrometry (FTS) to spectrochemical measurements in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible spectral regions used in atomic spectroscopy. By combining Fourier transform spectrometers with excitation sources such as the inductively coupled plasma (ICP), it is possible to develop new and advanced analytical techniques such as ICP-FTS. Although Fourier transforms have been applied extensively in many scientific fields, the analytical atomic spectroscopist is generally unfamiliar with the basic principles. An introduction to FTS is presented here for the analytical chemist.
