FTIR Advantages

• The second advantage of FTIR is known as the the Jacquinot advantage.

• The Jacquinot, or throughput advantage, arises because unlike dispersive spectrometers, FTIR spectrometers have no slits which attenuate the infrared light.

• This means the spectrometer has greater optical throughput, and again, a higher S/N than dispersive infrared spectrometers.
