¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals01:02

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals

Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)

When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...
Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation01:26

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
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.
NMR Spectrometers: Radiofrequency Pulses and Pulse Sequences01:17

NMR Spectrometers: Radiofrequency Pulses and Pulse Sequences

A pulse is a short burst of radio waves distributed over a range of frequencies that simultaneously excites all the nuclei in the sample. Upon passing a radio frequency pulse along the x-axis, the nuclei absorb energy corresponding to their Larmor frequencies and achieve resonance. This shifts the net magnetization vector from the z-axis toward the transverse plane. This angle of rotation of the magnetization vector, or the flip angle, is proportional to the duration and intensity of the pulse.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Biomedical Optics

Background:

  • Accurate characterization of wavelength-dependent refractive index is crucial for understanding material properties.
  • Existing spectroscopic methods often lack the sensitivity or spectral resolution required for detailed analysis of thin samples.
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and phase microscopy provide valuable information but can be limited in certain applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce nonlinear phase dispersion spectroscopy (NPDS) for high-resolution, wideband measurement of the refractive index.
  • To demonstrate NPDS's capability in quantifying absorptive and dispersive features in various samples.
  • To compare the sensitivity of NPDS with intensity-based methods like Spectroscopic Optical Coherence Tomography (SOCT).

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a low-coherence light field transmitted through a thin sample.
  • Employing interferometric detection in the spectral domain to capture dispersion effects.
  • Integrating spectral-domain phase microscopy and SOCT for quantitative phase mapping and attenuation coefficient determination.

Main Results:

  • Successful retrieval of wideband, high spectral resolution refractive index profiles.
  • Demonstrated quantification of absorptive/dispersive features in polystyrene beads and red blood cells.
  • Observed increased sensitivity compared to intensity-based spectroscopy (SOCT).

Conclusions:

  • Nonlinear phase dispersion spectroscopy is a novel and effective technique for detailed optical property analysis.
  • The method offers enhanced sensitivity for characterizing thin samples and biological tissues.
  • Potential applications span materials science, biomedical imaging, and diagnostics.
