Abstract
In this thesis, I demonstrate how I constructed a complete experimental package to view FTIR Spectroscopy of constituents that make up hot, rocky exoplanets. I examine in detail the engineering and construction of such a system. Also, I developed a full computational package to analyze spectra in association and relate the analysis to that of real world application. The new system produces reproducible IR spectra on exoplanet analogs and can be used to probe complex chemistry composition at high temperatures.
