The book is written by prof. Jyrki Kauppinen and Dr. Jari Partanen, University of Turku, Department of Applied Physics, Laboratory of Optics and Spectroscopy.

This modern handbook covers all topics about Fourier transforms and their use in spectral applications. All important aspects are included with respect to their use with optical spectroscopic data. Some aspects of Fourier self-deconvolution and linear prediction are explained thoroughly for the first time, e.g. Linear Prediction which allows resolution enhancement and gives much more useful spectra. Starting from the Mathematical Fundamentals, this book is suitable for graduate students as well as scientists and engineers working in this field. The main part of the book is dedicated to applications of FT in signal processing and spectroscopy. IR and NIR, NMR and mass spectrometry are dealt with both in a theoretical and practical point of view.
