Read Spectroscopic Data from Bruker OPUS Binary Files

v0.6.8 · Feb 3, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Reads data from Bruker OPUS binary files of Fourier-Transform infrared spectrometers of the company Bruker Optics GmbH & Co. This package is released independently from Bruker, and Bruker and OPUS are registered trademarks of Bruker Optics GmbH & Co. KG. <https://www.bruker.com/en/products-and-solutions/infrared-and-raman/opus-spectroscopy-software/latest-release.html>. It lets you import both measurement data and parameters from OPUS files. The main method is `read_opus()`, which reads one or multiple OPUS files into a standardized list class. Behind the scenes, the reader parses the file header for assigning spectral blocks and reading binary data from the respective byte positions, using a reverse engineering approach. Infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics and machine learning is an established method to scale up chemical diagnostics in various industries and scientific fields.
