Optical Spectroscopy with Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis

The system operates using optical spectroscopy combined with a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurement approach. Filtered infrared light is transmitted through an optical filter array to corresponding photodetectors, where transmitted optical power is recorded.

Measured data is processed using an RLS-based algorithm that estimates the incident spectrum from known filter transfer spectra and dynamically reconfigures both filter-transfer characteristics and the infrared light-source spectrum of the FTIR system.
