Fourier Transform Spectroscopy - Converting Spectra From Time Domain To Frequency Domain

Converting Spectra From Time Domain To Frequency Domain

S(t) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty I(\nu) e^{- i\nu 2\pi t}\,d\nu

The sum is performed over all contributing frequencies to give a signal S(t) in the time domain.

I(\nu) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty S(t) e^{i\nu 2\pi t}dt

gives non-zero value when S(t) contains a component that matches the oscillating function.
Remember that

Famous quotes containing the words converting, time, domain and/or frequency:

    “A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it—by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Today we all speak, if not the same tongue, the same universal language. There is no one center, and time has lost its former coherence: East and West, yesterday and tomorrow exist as a confused jumble in each one of us. Different times and different spaces are combined in a here and now that is everywhere at once.”
    —Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

    “When it had long since outgrown his purely medical implications and become a world movement which penetrated into every field of science and every domain of the intellect: literature, the history of art, religion and prehistory; mythology, folklore, pedagogy, and what not.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
