Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.
It's used to identify compounds by measuring the wavelengths of infrared light they absorb.

Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry. Conventional IR scans the spectrum over time, measuring absorption versus wavelength. FTIR pulses the sample with all wavelengths at once, then performs a mathematical treatment called Fourier transform on the combined signal to extract the spectrum.
