Since we deal with a periodic pattern, it is possible to apply a technique that was originally invented by the French physicist and mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830). Fourier was the first who showed that every periodic process (or an object like in our case) can be described as the sum (a superposition) of an infinite number of individual periodic events (e.g. waves). This process is known as Fourier synthesis. The inverse process, the decomposition of the periodic event or object yields the individual components and is called Fourier analysis. How Fourier synthesis works in practice is shown in Figure 4. To keep the example most simple, we will first consider only the projection (a shadow image) of the black squares onto the horizontal a-axis in the beginning (Figure 3). 

The macroscopic phenomenological equation for heat flow is Fourier s law, by the mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830). It appeared in his 1811 work, Theorie analytique de la chaleur (The analytic theory of heart). Fourier s theory of heat conduction entirely abandoned the caloric hypothesis, which had dominated eighteenth century ideas about heat. In Fourier s heat flow equation, the flow of heat (heat flux), q, is written as ... 

Any periodic function (such as the electron density in a crystal which repeats from unit cell to unit cell) can be represented as the sum of cosine (and sine) functions of appropriate amplitudes, phases, and periodicities (frequencies). This theorem was introduced in 1807 by Baron Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), a French mathematician and physicist who pioneered, as a result of his interest in a mathematical theory of heat conduction, the representation of periodic functions by trigonometric series. Fourier showed that a continuous periodic function can be described in terms of the simpler component cosine (or sine) functions (a Fourier series). A Fourier analysis is the mathematical process of dissecting a periodic function into its simpler component cosine waves, thus showing how the periodic function might have been been put together. A simple... 

An interferogram is generated because of the unique optics of an FT-IR instrument. The key components are a moveable mirror and a beam splitter. The moveable mirror is responsible for the quality of the interferogram, and it is very important to move the mirror at constant speed. For this reason, the moveable mirror is often the most expensive component of an FT-IR spectrometer. The beam splitter is just a piece of semireflective material, usually Mylar film sandwiched between two pieces of IR-transparent material. The beam splitter splits the IR beam 50/50 to the fixed and moveable mirrors, and then recombines the beams after being reflected at each mirror. The Fourier transform is named after its inventor, the French geometrician and physicist Baron Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, bom in 1830. 

The Fourier series is named for its inventor, Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, 1768-1730, famous French mathematician and physicist.

Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), Ecole Polytechnique, worked on infinite series and showed that some discontinuous functions belonged to these series. He showed that any periodic function could be decomposed into a set of simple oscillating functions, a Fourier series. 

Note Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier, French mathematician (1768-1830). Besides Fourier transformation, his influential work concerns the mathematical description of the conduction of heat in solids and the development of infinite series (Fourier series). He witnessed the French revolution and accompanied Napoleon on his expedition to Egypt. 

The complexity degree of noise can also be classified by Fourier analysis of time series in signal theory. Early in the nineteenth century, the French mathematician Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) proved that any continuous signal (time series) of finite duration can be represented as a superposition of overlapping periodic oscillations of different frequencies and amplitudes. The frequency/ is the reciprocal of the length of the period which means the duration 1// of a complete cycle. It measures how many periodic cycles there are per unit time.
