E Fourier Transformations

It is essential to note that / and / are two different functions and not merely the same function depending on two different variables. For the sake of simplicity this distinction is not always reflected by the notation however, we will explicitly distinguish these two functions by the /-notation in this appendix. Furthermore, since all integrals in this appendix extend over the whole real line it is convenient to not explicitly write down the limits of integration, which has been done in the second step of Eq. (E.2). Given the transformed function / it is always possible to extract the original function / by a so-called Fourier back transformation (FBT) defined by 

It is easy to see that the expressions for the two transformations (FT and FBT) are perfectly consistent with each other if and only if the integral representa-

Because of this feature Eq. (E.3) is also known as the Fourier reciprocity theorem. 

For the discussion of the Douglas-Kroll-Hess transformation in chapter 12 the Fourier transformation of a product of two functions, h x) = f(x)gix), has been employed. In one dimension it is given by the convolution integral of the Fourier transformations of / and g.

The basic processing of ID and 2D data requires obligatory processing steps for transforming the raw data (FID) into a "readable spectrum, i.e. Fourier transformation and phase correction to produce a spectrum with absorptive lineshapes. Finally, a few additional step.s (calibration, peak picking, integration) as discussed in chapter 4 are required before the spectrum is eventually plotted.

The previous discussions of the signal are nicely illustrated by an extremely simple model analysis using real fields and signals for two Lorenzian resonances at frequencies a and b. The sample is irradiated with two very short pulses whose spectra are flat. The real generated field from the sample is the real part of Eq. (21) or Eq. (33) with T set equal to zero for convenience since is in any case a multiplicative factor. In time-domain interferometry, this is measured directly along the indicated time axes as described above. In spectral interferometry the real generated field along with a real local oscillator field, delayed by time d, is dispersed (i.e., Fourier-transformed) by a monochromator, then squared by the detection to yield a spectrum on the array detector at each value of t ...

Two types of spectrometric detectors have been widely used in an in-line combination with GC-MS, i.e. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and atomic emission spectrometry (AED). Both FT-IR and AED are used in parallel with the MS, i.e. after a split.
