The advent of the Los Alamos National Laboratory Fourier Transform Spectroscopy Facility represents a break with past techniques for reducing Fourier transform data. In contrast to system dependent mainframe reduction packages, the LANL data reduction is performed exclusively on Apple MacIntosh II microcomputers. For scientists involved in Fourier transform spectroscopy there is a need for a unified data reduction package that will accomodate high resolution spectra from both the LANL FTS Facility and the McMath Fourier Transform Spectrometer at Kitt Peak. An adaptation of the Kitt Peak code DECOMP is presented that facilitates the reduction of spectral data from either laboratory on IBM PC-compatible computers.

In the early days of spectroscopy, arc sources were commonly used to obtain grating spectra of atoms and simple molecules. Since photographic detection was used, the poor stability of the arc was not a problem. Stability is a severe problem for the Fourier transform spectrometer and arcs are generally not suitable. The inductively coupled plasma (ICP), developed as a source for spectrochemical analysis, is similar in excitation to an arc, but is much cleaner and is relatively stable. Efforts have been made to exploit the ICP as a source of energetic spectra for the one meter McMath FTS of the National Solar Observatory at Kitt Peak.

Spectral distortion due to the nonlinear response of HgCdTe detectors is well known. Methods for removing such features are discussed. Nonlinear response in HgCdTe detectors is a well known complication in midir Fourier transform spectroscopy; methods of removing the spectral artifacts created by nonlinearity are less well understood. While the instrument and experiment may be designed so that the desired spectrum is properly sampled, non-linearity introduces spectral features that lie outside the intended bandpass and consequently are undersampled and subject to aliasing. Consequently, in cases where nonlinear response may be expected it is essential that optical filters be chosen with the nonlinear harmonics in mind. Several examples of nonlinearity are considered, with practical examples drawn from the ATMOS data set.

Molecular constants for the N 2 + band have been determined using combination differences and polynomial fits, and will be compared with published values.

The simplest method for measuring atomic transition probabilities is a two step process requiring (1) the radiative lifetime of the upper level of the transition and (2) the branching fraction, the probability that the upper level decays via the particular transition of interest. This latter probability is found by measuring the relative intensity of all of the decay channels that contribute significantly to the total decay strength of the upper level.

A variety of time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques have been described in the literature.1–11 The basic concept is to trigger a transient event such as a chemical photolysis, for example with a lamp or a laser, and to acquire absorption or emission amplitudes with the Fourier transform interferometer at specific time delays after the triggering event. One method steps the mirror to a new fixed position and takes a time-resolved trace at each position. The difficulty with this method comes in the long-term instrument stability of the mirror position in this "step and stop" mode of operation.2–4 Another method allows the mirror to sweep rapidly and continuously, and data at a number of times after a single triggering event are collected as the mirror sweeps. The point in the interferogram where the trigger occurs is varied, so that data are obtained at all mirror positions and times. These data are then used to construct interferograms at a number of different time delays after the triggering event. This method has sometimes been found to have artifacts if there is Jitter in the sweep speed of the mirror or if the amplitude of the initiating source is not constant.5

Electron densities and excitation or spectroscopic temperatures have been determined for an iron hollow cathode lamp containing Ar/N2 and Ne/N2 fill gas mixtures. The responses of both properties to current, total fill gas pressure and N2 partial pressures were monitored. Responses to variations in pressure and fill gas composition appear to demonstrate more than one mechanism for both excitation and current transport. Electron density is compared to literature values and found to be similar. Excitation temperatures are compared to previous work done in our laboratory and found to demonstrate the same trend.
