Wave Optics in Infrared Spectroscopy is a comprehensive guide to the field of infrared spectroscopy, bridging the gap between conventional books and advanced topics. Based on wave optics and dispersion theory, it offers a seamless transition from one level of theory to the other, allowing readers to choose the appropriate level for their specific problems. Advanced topics such as 2D correlation analysis, chemometrics, and strong coupling are introduced and viewed from a wave optics perspective. Spectral mixing rules are also considered to better understand spectra of heterogeneous samples. Optical anisotropy is examined to allow a better understanding of spectral features due to orientation and orientational averaging. The book is based on a 4 x 4 matrix formalism, which is used to simulate and analyze complex materials and understand vibrational circular dichroism from a (semi-) classical point of view. It is written for chemists, physicists, and chemical/optical engineers and will appeal to a wide range of readers.
