In 1972, Prof. Kauppinen constructed a Fourier transform spectrometer, which possessed the world record of resolution for more than two decades. Numerous IR-spectra have been measured with the highest resolution in the world. These spectra have been analyzed and published mainly in cooperation with foreign spectroscopists (about 100 publications). We have, e.g., measured and analyzed standard spectra of simple molecules (H2O, CO2, OCS, N2O, etc.) for the standard book "Handbook of Infrared Standards with Spectral Maps and Transition Assignments between 3 and 2600 mm", edited by G. Guelachvili and K. Narahari Rao, Academic Press INC, 1986. Our section of the book consists of 120 pages.
Of the other works related to the standards, worth mentioning is the interferometric measuring system which was developed in collaboration with the Helsinki University of Technology. This instrument serves as the Finnish standard of length.
A new very high resolution FT-IR spectrometer is under construction in our laboratory. Its primary use will be the production of standard spectra.
