Rejection of Fluorescence Background in Resonance and Spontaneous Raman Microspectroscopy
Published on: May 18, 2011
Abstract:
Although nonlinear spectroscopy evolved slowly in its initial stages, it is now becoming an important new branch of atomic and molecular spectroscopy. A variety of phenomena are being observed for the first time, either in steady state or in transient behavior. In a sense, the methods of microwave and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are now being reproduced in the optical region, and with the same precision and detail.

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals
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...

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...
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.
