High-speed Continuous-wave Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Spectrometer for Material Analysis07:55

High-speed Continuous-wave Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Spectrometer for Material Analysis

10.6K
We describe the construction of a rapid continuous-wave-stimulated-Brillouin-scattering (CW-SBS) spectrometer. The spectrometer employs single-frequency diode-lasers and an atomic vapor notch-filter to acquire transmission spectra of turbid/non-turbid samples with high spectral-resolution at speeds up to 100-fold faster than those of existing CW-SBS spectrometers. This improvement enables high-speed Brillouin material analysis.

Here we present a protocol to build a rapid Brillouin spectrometer. Cascading virtually imaged phase array (VIPA) etalons achieve a measurement speed more than 1,000 times faster than traditional scanning Fabry-Perot spectrometers. This improvement provides the means for Brillouin analysis of tissue and biomaterials at low power levels in...

Mechanical Mapping of Spheroids Using Brillouin Spectroscopy

802
This article describes a protocol for mechanical characterisation of living spheroids within a 3D matrix using Brillouin micro-spectroscopy. This all-optical method enables spheroid visualisation with microscale resolution and quantitative mechanical properties. This approach has implications for mechanical phenotyping; for instance, determining pathological states of tumor spheroids within a 3D...

IR Spectrometers

2.4K
There are two main infrared (IR) spectrophotometers: dispersive IR spectrometers and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers. In a dispersive IR spectrometer, a beam of infrared radiation produced by a hot wire is divided into two parallel equal-intensity beams using mirrors. One beam passes through the sample, while another is a reference beam. The beams then move through the monochromator, which separates the radiations into a continuous spectrum of different frequencies. The...
