A variation of this technique uses signal averaging to improve signal-to-noise through Jacquinot’s advantage. Detectors made of DLATGS are found in devices for this technique, which often uses matrix isolation. A variant of this technique often paired with ATR generates data in the form of interferograms. Holding up two, three or four fingers is a common mnemonic when analyzing aromatics in this technique. Rows that contain x, y or z in a character table correspond to this technique. A (*) potassium bromide disk or Nujol (“NEW-jull”) mull can be used to prepare samples for this technique. This technique observes changes in dipole moment due to molecular vibrations, and identifies functional groups in the fingerprint region. For 10 points, name this spectroscopic technique named for radiation with a wavelength longer than visible light. ■END■
