Dispersion and Filters
Optical Filters: Dispersion and Filters Turan Erdogan, PhD (CTO and Co-founder) Semrock, A Unit of IDEX Corporation May 31, 2011 www.semrock.com Dispersion matters sometimes • Often we can sufficiently characterize the spectral performance of an optical filter by determining simply the amount of light intensity (I) it transmits (T(λ)) and it reflects (R(λ)) • T and R are called the “intensity transmission” and “intensity reflection” coefficients filter Iin IT = T(l)Iin IR = R(l)Iin 2 When dispersion matters • However, if the filter is used in an optical system that is sensitive to the phase of the light, we must use the “amplitude transmission” (t exp(iφt)) and “amplitude reflection” (r exp(iφr)) coefficients • t and r determine the amplitude of the electric field of the light that is transmitted and reflected, respectively, and φt and φr determine the change in phase of the electric field • The transmitted and reflected intensity is proportional to the square of the electric field filter 2 Iin = |Ein| phase Ein phase sensitive sensitive optical optical if (l) 2 Et = t(l)e t Ein IT = |Et| 2 system if (l) system IR = |Er| Er = r(l)e r Ein 3 When dispersion matters • Examples of cases when and where phase matters and the amplitude (rather than intensity) coefficients must be used include: . The filter is used in one arm of an interferometer, such that the light transmitted through or reflected off of the filter is coherently combined with light from the other arm or from elsewhere in the system . The filter is used to transmit or reflect a short pulse (<< 1 picosecond) such that its phase can cause the pulse to be chirped and therefore broadened or distorted filter 2 Iin = |Ein| phase Ein phase sensitive sensitive optical optical if (l) 2 Et = t(l)e t Ein IT = |Et| 2 system if (l) system IR = |Er| Er = r(l)e r Ein 4 Impact of optical filter dispersion • Consider the impact of dispersion on a short pulse reflected off of a filter with amplitude reflection coefficient r exp(iφ ) r filter . -
Experiment 5: Molar Volume of a Gas (Mg + Hcl)
1 CHEM 30A EXPERIMENT 5: MOLAR VOLUME OF A GAS (MG + HCL) Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this lab, the student will be able to: 1) Demonstrate a single replacement reaction. 2) Calculate the molar volume of a gas at STP using experimental data. 3) Calculate the molar mass of a metal using experimental data. Introduction Metals that are above hydrogen in the activity series will displace hydrogen from an acid and produce hydrogen gas. Magnesium is an example of a metal that is more active than hydrogen in the activity series. The reaction between magnesium metal and aqueous hydrochloric acid is an example of a single replacement reaction (a type of redox reaction). The chemical equation for this reaction is shown below: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) è MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) Equation 1 When the reaction between the metal and the acid is conducted in a eudiometer, the volume of the hydrogen gas produced can be easily determined. In the experiment described below magnesium metal will be reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid and the volume of hydrogen gas produced at the experimental conditions will be determined. According to Avogadro’s law, the volume of one mole of any gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP = 273 K and 1 atm) is 22.4 L. Two important Gas Laws are required in order to convert the experimentally determined volume of hydrogen gas to that at STP. 1. Dalton’s law of partial pressures. 2. Combined gas law. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures According to Dalton’s law of partial pressures in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. -
Use of Laboratory Equipement
USE OF LABORATORY EQUIPEMENT C. Laboratory Thermometers Most thermometers are based upon the principle that liquids expand when heated. Most common thermometers use mercury or colored alcohol as the liquid. These thermometers are constructed as that a uniform-diameter capillary tube surmounts a liquid reservoir. To calibrate a thermometer, one defines two reference points, normally the freezing point of water (0°C, 32°F) and the boiling point of water (100°C, 212°F) at 1 tam of pressure (1 tam = 760 mm Hg). Once these points are marked on the capillary, its length is then subdivided into uniform divisions called degrees. There are 100° between these two points on the Celsius (°C, or centigrade) scale and 180° between those two points on the Fahrenheit (°F) scale. °F = 1.8 °C + 32 The Thermometer and Its Calibration This section describes the proper technique for checking the accuracy of your thermometer. These measurements will show how measured temperatures (read from thermometer) compare with true temperatures (the boiling and freezing points of water). The freezing point of water is 0°C; the boiling point depends upon atmospheric pressure but at sea level it is 100°C. Option 1: Place approximately 50 mL of ice in a 250-mL beaker and cover the ice with distilled water. Allow about 15 min for the mixture to come to equilibrium and then measure and record the temperature of the mixture. Theoretically, this temperature is 0°C. Option 2: Set up a 250-mL beaker on a wire gauze and iron ring. Fill the beaker about half full with distilled water. -

This paper presents an explosion-proof two-channel Raman photometer designed for chemical pro- cess monitoring in hazardous explosive atmospheres. Due to its design, alignment of components is simplified and economic in comparison to spectrometer systems. Raman spectrometers have the potential of becoming an increasingly important tool in process analysis technologies as part of molecular-specific concentration monitor- ing. However, in addition to the required laser power, which restricts use in potentially explosive atmospheres, the financial hurdle is also high. Within the scope of a proof of concept, it is shown that photometric measure- ments of Raman scattering are possible. The use of highly sensitive detectors allows the required excitation power to be reduced to levels compliant for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. -

White Paper Absorbance Or Fluorescence: Which Is the Best
WHITE PAPER No. 40 Absorbance or Fluorescence: Which Is the Best Way to Quantify Nucleic Acids? Natascha Weiß1, Martin Armbrecht1 ¹Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany Executive Summary When performing molecular experiments on nucleic acids, it is a basic requirement to determine the concentration as well as the quality of the sample. The standard method which serves this purpose is UV-Vis spectrophotometry – but is it always the right choice? In the present White Paper, the advantages and disadvantages of this technique will be described and it will be compared with nucleic acid quantification via fluorescence. In this context, it will be discussed which situations warrant the use of which one of the two methods. The decision will generally depend on the condition of the sample as well as on the requirements of downstream applications. Since the advantages of both methods complement each other well, it is most practical to have the ability to perform both methods on a single instrument in a flexible manner. Introduction Experiments involving nucleic acids are a mainstay in any evaluated by measuring the sample at additional wave molecular laboratory. DNA and RNA are isolated from micro- lengths (230 nm, 280 nm) and calculating the purity ratios, organisms and from cells of higher order organisms in order i.e. the ratios of the values obtained at 260/230 nm and at to be employed in a broad variety of processing steps and 260/280 nm, respectively. In this way, it will be evident analyses. It is crucial for any type of downstream applica- whether cellular debris or remainders of reagent used during tion that a defined amount of nucleic acid is used and that purification such as proteins, sugar molecules, certain salts the sample is free from contaminations that may impact the or phenols, are present in the solution, as these will generate experiments. -
