A novel step-scan FT-IR spectrometer incorporating a digital signal processor for demodulation of the detector signal is described. The potential advantages of this method of signal processing are discussed and illustrated. The instrument is based on a commercial cube-corner interferometer which has been modified by replacement of the drive motor with a stepper motor-micrometer and piezoelectric transducer combination. The interferometer retardation is feedback controlled by a 486–50 personal computer, which also controls the digital signal processor and collects spectral data. More than one phase modulation frequency can be imposed simultaneously, allowing for a multiplex advantage in photoacoustic depth profiling. Digital signal processing allows for simultaneous demodulation of multiple frequencies which would normally require several lock-in amplifiers. Data that illustrate the feasibility of these concepts are presented. The suitability of this instrument for double-modulation step-scan FT-IR measurements such as polymer stretching and electrochemically modulated step-scan FT-IR is also discussed.

A software-based digital signal processing (DSP) method using the data system processor has been developed to demodulate the photoacoustic responses of a sample to the fundamental phase modulation frequency and its harmonic frequencies (up to the ninth harmonic) in step-scan FT-IR photoacoustic measurements, without the use of any additional hardware. The DSP algorithm and its sampling depth multiplexing advantages are compared to conventional hardware demodulation. Comparison of results from the DSP method to those from hardware demodulators are shown at both the phase modulation frequency and the harmonics, and application of the DSP method to step-scan photoacoustic measurements with phase modulation is discussed as it applies to obtaining depth profile information in heterogeneous materials.

In today's world, the development of economy has led to the continuous development and evolution of science and technology. Computer technology and large-scale integration technology have been well developed and applied, followed by the technology of digital signal processing DSP production and application. In the field of logging, the application function of this technology plays a key role. It not only allows the imaging logging technology to be further developed, but also enables fast and accurate processing of downhole signals. Therefore, among many logging tools today, digital signal processing DSPs have been widely used, and their functions have been fully utilized. This paper analyzes the application of signal processor DSP in logging instruments. It is hoped that it can play a reference role in the good application and development of logging instruments.

Digital signal processing (DSP) has been implemented in a step-scan FT-IR spectrometer in a modification that enables processing of high-frequency polarization modulation signals. In this work, direct comparison is made between vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra measured on the same instrument, with the same samples, under the same conditions, using this new DSP method and a conventional rapid-scan technique (employing a lock-in amplifier for demodulation). In this initial test, both techniques generated high-quality VCD for solution phase, rigid chiral molecules such α-pinene and camphor. Noise and reproducibility of known spectral features, as well as enhancing signal measurability and discrimination, were used as criteria for the selection of optimal DSP measurement parameters. Both DSP and rapid-scan VCD methods produced qualitatively reasonable spectra for biologically related molecules such as poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate, poly-L-proline, and duplex RNA homopolymer. In most cases, the DSP method had a slight signal-to-noise advantage based on standard deviations of the noise trace data over the rapid-scan measurement, but the final results did depend on the details of the data collection and the phase correction methods inherent in both methods.
