Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

198
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....

IR Spectrometers

1.1K
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...

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview

298
A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
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...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

579
An atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) comprises several components: a radiation source, an atomizer, a monochromator, and a detector. The radiation source can be a hollow-cathode lamp (HCL) or an electrodeless-discharge lamp (EDL), both of which provide a narrow emission line of the required wavelength. However, some instruments use continuum sources and high-resolution monochromators to achieve a narrow range of radiation.
The atomizer used in AAS can be either a flame atomizer or an...

Mass Analyzers: Overview

615
The mass analyzer is a crucial component of the mass spectrometer. In the ionization chamber, the vaporized sample is bombarded with a high-energy electron beam to generate a radical cation and further fragment into neutral molecules, radicals, and cations. A series of negatively charged accelerator plates accelerate the cations into the mass analyzer. The mass analyzer separates ions according to their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios and then directs them to the detector. The common types of mass...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

343
The instrumentation of atomic emission spectrometry (AES) involves various components, including atomization devices that convert samples into gas-phase atoms and ions. There are two main types of atomization devices: continuous and discrete atomizers.  Continuous atomizers, like plasmas and flames, introduce samples in a constant stream, while discrete atomizers inject individual samples using syringes or autosamplers. The most common discrete atomizer is the electrothermal atomizer.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Compressive Sensing

Background:

  • Miniaturized reconstructive spectrometers (RSs) face challenges in bandwidth/resolution, sensing speed, and power efficiency.
  • Existing RS designs often have poor spectral-pixel-to-channel ratios (SPCRs) due to inadequate sampling channel decorrelation.
  • A lack of guidelines exists for optimizing RS sampling responses for effective spectral information acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a fundamental parameter from compressive sensing (CS) theory, the average mutual correlation coefficient (ν), as a critical benchmark for RS design.
  • To propose a novel RS design utilizing multiresonant cavities to optimize sampling matrices and minimize ν.
  • To demonstrate improved SPCRs and spectral acquisition capabilities in RS devices.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a novel reconstructive spectrometer (RS) design featuring multiresonant cavities with partial reflective interfaces.
  • Utilized the average mutual correlation coefficient (ν) from compressive sensing (CS) theory as a design benchmark.
  • Implemented a single-shot, dual-band RS on a Silicon Nitride (SiN) platform and demonstrated adaptability to other photonic platforms using multilayer coatings.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a minimized average mutual correlation coefficient (ν) through the optimized multicavity configuration.
  • Demonstrated a record high spectral-pixel-to-channel ratio (SPCR) of 18.0 with a dual-band RS (270 nm bandwidth, <0.5 nm resolution, 15 channels/band).
  • Showcased potential for ultrabroadband RS with a 700 nm bandwidth and SPCR > 100 using multilayer coatings.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed multicavity design effectively optimizes sampling matrices for reconstructive spectrometers (RSs).
  • This approach significantly enhances spectral-pixel-to-channel ratios (SPCRs), overcoming limitations of previous designs.
  • The design is versatile and adaptable to various photonic platforms, enabling broader applications in spectroscopy.
