About Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

The FTS topical meeting welcomes all scientists who use or develop Fourier transform spectrometers. Fourier transform spectrometry is the technique of choice in all research areas that require high accuracy, sensitivity, and resolution over a wide spectral range. Its scope includes laboratory, Earth, planetary and astronomical spectroscopy. This meeting is the only international conference covering FTS instrumental development, technology and applications from the submillimeter to the ultraviolet.

Fourier transform spectrometry is the spectroscopic technique of choice in all research areas that require high accuracy, sensitivity, and resolution, and it continues to grow in application and utilization. This is especially true for new research areas, such as meteorology and chemical microscopy, where such attributes are mandatory. This FTS Topical Meeting is the only international conference on Fourier transform spectrometry covering the whole range of FTS technology and applications. Its scope will include laboratory spectroscopy, Earth and planetary remote sensing, and astronomy as well as new instrumental developments.
