Research abstract
THE MOST WIDELY USED INSTRUMENT FOR INFRARED SPECTRAL ANALYSIS IS THE FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED (FT-IR) SPECTROMETER. WHEN APPLIED TO NON-REPETITIVE SAMPLES THIS INSTRUMENT HAS LIMITED TIME RESOLUTION. IT IS PROPOSED TO USE A DIFFERENT TRANSFORM, A WAVELET TRANSFORM, FOR THE IR INTERFEROGRAMS, TO CONSIDERABLY IMPROVE THE TIME RESOLUTION,AND AT THE SAME TIME TO PRESENT THE RESULTS IN READILY USABLE FORM. WITH NO CHANGE IN HARDWARE, A WAVELET TRANSFORM WILL IMPROVE THE TIME RESOLUTION BY A FACTOR OF 8,FOR A GIVEN SPECTRAL RESOLUTION. WITH DIFFERENT HARDWARE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER IMPROVEMENT. THE WAVELET TRANSFORM METHOD, IMPLEMENTED BY HARDWARE ADDITIONS TO THE STANDARD FT-IR INSTRUMENT, PLUS SOFTWARE, WOULD BE MARKETED AS AN OPTION TO THE STANDARD INSTRUMENT.
