The inductively coupled plasma (ICP) excitation source for analytical atomic spectroscopy has been studied with the one-meter Fourier-transform spectrometer (FTS) located at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Tucson, Arizona. The high resolution of this spectrometer combined with the comprehensive wavelength coverage of the Fourier transform technique, allows the use of the spectra for elucidation of spectraphysical properties such as excitation temperatures and line widths. From these studies, the analytical applicability of the ICP-FTS combination is evaluated for atomic spectrochemical measurements in the visible and ultraviolet. 4 figures, 1 table.
