You will be familiar with spectroscopy in the visible and ultraviolet spectral range. In thisrange electronic transition are observed. The absorption of infrared radiation is the process that comes next at lower energies: theexcitation of vibrational and rotational transitions. The energy required for a transition is approximately a factor

of 10 smaller than for electronic transitions. The spectral region is adjacent to the visible spectral region and

extends from 0.7µm to 1000µm, which is the infrared spectral region. In most cases the region from 2.5 to

25µm is used.
