UV–Vis Spectrometers01:14

UV–Vis Spectrometers

1.3K
The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell.

Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–Vis) Spectroscopy: Overview01:02

Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–Vis) Spectroscopy: Overview

2.6K
Ultraviolet–visible (UV–visible or UV–Vis) spectroscopy is an analytical technique that investigates the interaction between matter and UV–Vis light within the electromagnetic spectrum. This method is widely used for its versatility, simplicity, and relatively quick data acquisition, making it valuable for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. When UV–Vis radiation passes through a material,  molecules absorb light depending on the energy required for...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

7.0K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

    Area of Science:

    • Spectroscopy
    • Laser Physics
    • Environmental Science

    Background:

    • Intrapulse difference frequency generation (IDFG) supercontinuum sources offer novel capabilities for mid-infrared (mid-IR) gas spectroscopy.
    • These sources provide high power, broad spectral coverage (2-11.5 µm), and low relative intensity noise, ideal for the molecular fingerprint region.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the performance of an IDFG-based supercontinuum source coupled with a multipass cell and Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) for multispecies trace gas detection.
    • To evaluate the system's sensitivity and applicability in real-world environmental and biological monitoring scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a mode-locked laser-based IDFG supercontinuum source generating a 2-11.5 µm spectrum with ~3 W output power.
    • Integrated the light source with a multipass gas cell and a custom-built Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS).
    • Applied the system to detect various trace gases, including hydrocarbons, oxides, and organic molecules, and analyzed bioreactor off-gas.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved sub-ppb sensitivity for multiple trace gases (CH4, C2H4, SO2, NOx, acetone, ethyl acetate) within seconds to minutes.
    • The supercontinuum source demonstrated superior performance over existing mid-IR sources in noise, spectral coverage, and output power.
    • Successfully measured simultaneous concentrations of multiple nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2, N2O) in a bioreactor off-gas sample.

    Conclusions:

    • The demonstrated spectroscopic system, powered by an IDFG supercontinuum source, offers a robust and sensitive platform for multispecies trace gas analysis.
    • Its capabilities are well-suited for diverse applications in environmental monitoring and biological process analysis.
    • The system's performance highlights the potential of advanced laser-based spectroscopy for complex gas mixture characterization.
