Time-resolved Infrared Spectroscopy for Monitoring Fast Chemical Changes
Webinar Date/Time: Tue, Apr 11, 2023 1:00 PM EDT
This will be an overview of modern FT-IR spectrometry to demonstrate the collection of a complete spectrum within 10 ms in the rapid-scan mode. A few nanoseconds’ time resolution can be achieved for the repetitive reactions in the step-scan mode.

Event Overview:
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is highly specific for identifying chemical composition because each compound has a characteristic IR spectrum that serves as a “fingerprint” to uniquely identify the compound. This makes IR spectroscopy the widely used technique for monitoring changes in chemical composition during reactions. Modern FT-IR spectrometers collect a complete spectrum within 10 ms in the rapid-scan mode. A few nanoseconds time resolution can be achieved for repetitive reactions in the step-scan mode. An introduction to time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy and optimization of the experimental setup will be discussed in the first part of the webinar. Examples of applications will include photosensitive proteins studies, polymer curing, and a stop-flow.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn about time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy.
- Learn how to quickly and accurately monitor changes in chemical composition during reactions.
- Understand various chemical applications utilizing FT-IR Spectrometry

Using Spectroscopy to Reveal the Secrets of Space
March 25th 2025Scientists are using advanced spectroscopic techniques to probe the universe, uncovering vital insights about celestial objects. A new study by Diriba Gonfa Tolasa of Assosa University, Ethiopia, highlights how atomic and molecular physics contribute to astrophysical discoveries, shaping our understanding of stars, galaxies, and even the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
New Telescope Technique Expands Exoplanet Atmosphere Spectroscopic Studies
March 24th 2025Astronomers have made a significant leap in the study of exoplanet atmospheres with a new ground-based spectroscopic technique that rivals space-based observations in precision. Using the Exoplanet Transmission Spectroscopy Imager (ETSI) at McDonald Observatory in Texas, researchers have analyzed 21 exoplanet atmospheres, demonstrating that ground-based telescopes can now provide cost-effective reconnaissance for future high-precision studies with facilities like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) (1-3).
