The interface of a Pt filament pyrolysis control unit and a rapid-scan FT-IR spectrometer is described that enables the thermal decomposition of a thin film of material to be studied isothermally after heating at 2000°C/s. A model of the heat transfer of the Pt filament as a function of gas atmosphere and pressure is developed to help understand the instrument response. The control voltage of the Pt filament is highly sensitive to the thermochemistry of the thin film of sample. By simultaneously recording the control voltage and the rapid-scan IR spectra of the near-surface gas products, one learns considerable detail about chemical mechanisms relevant to combustion of a bulk material. The application of T-jump/FT-IR spectroscopy is illustrated with rapid thermolysis data for the energetic organoazide polymers azidomethyl-methyloxetane (AMMO), bis(azidomethyl)oxetane (BAMO), and glycidylazide polymer (GAP); the cyclic nitramine, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacine (HMX); and the nitroaromatic 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB).

The step-scan technique in Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is employed in new applications of time resolved spectroscopy (TRS). Results are demonstrated on time-resolved laser emissions and photolytically generated chemical reactions using both emission and absorption modes. New achievements in FT-IR temporal resolution are demonstrated, as well as the complementary nature of step-scan and rapid-scan time-resolved spectroscopy.
