Spectroscopy by grating synthesis
Abstract:
Spectral information obtained by synthesis of two or more diffraction gratings is studied. Also the case of two gratings with relative motion and the case of N fixed gratings are discussed. We show that, using grating synthesis, it is possible to obtain transfer functions that increase the total obtainable information with respect to the single grating. The possibility of building a synthesis spectroscope is presented, taking into account both the gratings aberration and some construction imperfections. Finally we show that this synthesis method, with a proper numerical elaboration, gives practically the same information as we can obtain with a single equivalent grating.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
