13. Advantages of FT-IR over Dispersive IR Resolution: Jacquinot’s Advantage:Resolution is not limited by aperture width. Can increase light throughput by 10-200 fold. Multiplex Advantage (aka Fellget’s Advantage):Signal from all l are continuously monitored, increasing S/N. S/N for average of n measurements:

14. Are you getting the concept? How long would it take to capture a dispersive IR spectrum from 500 – 5000 cm-1 with 3 cm-1 resolution elements if you could scan one resolution element every 0.5 seconds? If you want to increase your S/N by a factor of 2, how long will you have to scan? If you collect FT-IR for the same length of time, what is the theoretical S/N advantage?
