The response may be reflection, absorption, scattering, etc. Visible and near-infrared spectroscopy is growing at a very fast pace in many fields including forestry, medical, agriculture, defense, homeland security, and food safety. There are many different types of Spectroscopy. CCCC & LASER-TEC HI-TEC CONFERENCE PRESENTATION, JULY 2019 TYPES OF SPECTROSCOPY Types of spectroscopy are distinguished by specific applications or implementations: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy) Acoustic resonance spectroscopy is based on sound waves primarily in the audible and ultrasonic regions Auger spectroscopy is a method used to study surfaces of materials on a micro-scale. It is often used in connection with electron microscopy. Cavity ring down spectroscopy Circular Dichroism spectroscopy Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is a recent technique that has high sensitivity and powerful applications for in vivo spectroscopy and imaging.[4] Cold vapour atomic fluorescence spectroscopy Correlation spectroscopy encompasses several types of two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Deep-level transient spectroscopy measures concentration and analyzes parameters of electrically active defects in semiconducting materials Dual polarisation interferometry measures the real and imaginary components of the complex refractive index Electron phenomenological spectroscopy measures physicochemical properties and characteristics of electronic structure of multicomponent and complex molecular systems. EPR spectroscopy Force spectroscopy Fourier transform spectroscopy is an efficient method for processing spectra data obtained using interferometers. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a common implementation of infrared spectroscopy. NMR also employs Fourier transforms. Hadron spectroscopy studies the energy/mass spectrum of hadrons according to spin, parity, and other particle properties. Baryon spectroscopy and meson spectroscopy are both types of hadron spectroscopy. Hyperspectral imaging is a method to create a complete picture of the environment or various objects, each pixel containing a full visible, VNIR, NIR, or infrared spectrum. Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) uses the changes in current due to inelastic electron-vibration interaction at specific energies that can also measure optically forbidden transitions. Inelastic neutron scattering is similar to Raman spectroscopy, but uses neutrons instead of photons. Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), also called Laser-induced plasma spectrometry (LIPS) Laser spectroscopy uses tunable lasers[5] and other types of coherent emission sources, such as optical parametric oscillators,[6] for selective excitation of atomic or molecular species. Mass spectroscopy is an historical term used to refer to mass spectrometry. Current recommendations[7] are to use the latter term. Use of the term mass spectroscopy originated in the use of phosphor screens to detect ions. Mössbauer spectroscopy probes the properties of specific isotopic nuclei in different atomic environments by analyzing the resonant absorption of gamma-rays. See also Mössbauer effect. Neutron spin echo spectroscopy measures internal dynamics in proteins and other soft matter systems Photoacoustic spectroscopy measures the sound waves produced upon the absorption of radiation. Photoemission spectroscopy Photothermal spectroscopy measures heat evolved upon absorption of radiation. Pump-probe spectroscopy can use ultrafast laser pulses to measure reaction intermediates in the femtosecond timescale. Raman optical activity spectroscopy exploits Raman scattering and optical activity effects to reveal detailed information on chiral centers in molecules. Raman spectroscopy Saturated spectroscopy Scanning tunneling spectroscopy Spectrophotometry Time-resolved spectroscopy measures the decay rate(s) of excited states using various spectroscopic methods. Time-Stretch Spectroscopy[8][9] Thermal infrared spectroscopy measures thermal radiation emitted from materials and surfaces and is used to determine the type of bonds present in a sample as well as their lattice environment. The techniques are widely used by organic chemists, mineralogists, and planetary scientists. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) Video spectroscopy Vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) CCCC & LASER-TEC HI-TEC CONFERENCE PRESENTATION, JULY 2019 SPECTROSCOPY ANALYSIS WITH LIGHT ENERGY Some types of “Spectroscopy” are used for material, or matter, analysis using light energy. Comparison analysis is performed through reflection, absorption, fluorescence, refraction or scattering of light from interaction with a material sample. Includes Raman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nathan_Johnson/photoemission_spectroscopy#/media/File:ARPESgeneral.png) CCCC & LASER-TEC HI-TEC CONFERENCE PRESENTATION, JULY 2019 RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY Raman Spectroscopy is the Focus of our Discussion A measure of Wavelengths of Light Energy Scattered from Molecules. The wavelengths are shifted from the Incident Light by the Energies of the Molecular Vibrations. Maybe used for Molecular Determination, including Qualitative, and Quantitative Analysis. Raman Scattering Amount is Very Weak Raman Spectroscopy Applications Biomedical – (Vital Signs Monitoring, Early Disease Detection, Glucose Monitoring, Imaging, Dental) Homeland Security (Poisonous Gas Detection, Bomb Detection) Geology Law Enforcement (Drug Identification) Food Industry (Contamination, Ripeness) Pharmaceutical Industry (Correct Prescription Refills, Trace Elements) CCCC & LASER-TEC HI-TEC CONFERENCE PRESENTATION, JULY 2019 RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY Raman spectroscopy is experiencing very strong growth, because it is noninvasive, highly sensitive, fast, and less sample preparation time required. This strong growth has resulted in increased spectrometer sales, and increased demand for photonics/laser technicians with a skill set in the field of spectroscopy. “Gold Nuggets” just waiting to be mined! 55 Companies Found Let's look at the possible untapped market.

  • Strongly Enhanced Raman Optical Activity in Molecules by Magnetic Response of Nanoparticles
    Strongly Enhanced Raman Optical Activity in Molecules by Magnetic Response of Nanoparticles Tong Wu1, Xiuhui Zhang2, Rongyao Wang1 and Xiangdong Zhang1* 1School of Physics and Beijing Key Laboratory of Nanophotonics & Ultrafine Optoelectronic Systems,Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, 100081, China 2School of Chemistry and Key Laboratory of Cluster Science of Ministry of Education, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, 100081, China ABSTRACT: An analytical theory for the surface-enhanced Raman optical activity (SEROA) with the magnetic response of the substrate particle has been presented. We have demonstrated that the SEROA signal is proportional to the magnetic polarizability of the substrate particle, which can be significantly enhanced due to the existence of the magnetic response. At the same time, a large circular intensity difference (CID) for the SEROA can also be achieved in the presence of the magnetic response. Taking Si nanoparticles as examples, we have found that the CID enhanced by a Si nanoparticle is 10 times larger than that of Au. Furthermore, when the molecule is located in the hotspot of a Si dimer, CID can be 60 times larger. The phenomena originate from large magnetic fields concentrated near the nanoparticle and boosted magnetic dipole emission of the molecule. The symmetric breaking of the electric fields caused by the magnetic dipole response of the nanoparticle also plays an important role. Our findings provide a new way to tailor the Raman optical activity by designing metamaterials with the strong magnetic response. I.INTRODUCTION Chirality plays a crucial role in modern biochemistry and the evolution of life.1 Many biologically active molecules are chiral, detection and quantification of chiral enantiomers of these biomolecules are of considerable importance.

  • Quantum Limit in Subnanometre-Gap Tip-Enhanced Nanoimaging of Few
    Quantum limit in subnanometre-gap tip-enhanced nanoimaging of few-layer MoS2 Yingchao Zhang1,2*, Dmitri V. Voronine1,3*#, Shangran Qiu1,2, Alexander M. Sinyukov1, Mary Hamilton3, Alexei V.

Scully1,3,4# 1Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA 2Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, Shaanxi 710049, China 3Baylor University, Waco, TX 76798, USA 4Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA Two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have unique mechanical, optical and electronic properties with promising applications in flexible devices, catalysis and sensing. Optical imaging of TMDs using photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy can reveal the effects of structure, strain, doping, defects, edge states, grain boundaries and surface functionalization. However, Raman signals are inherently weak and so far have been limited in spatial resolution in TMDs to a few hundred nanometres which is much larger than the intrinsic scale of these effects. Here we overcome the diffraction limit by using resonant tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) of few-layer MoS2, and obtain nanoscale optical images with ~ 20 nm spatial resolution. This becomes possible due to electric field enhancement in an optimized subnanometre-gap resonant tip-substrate configuration. We investigate the limits of signal enhancement by varying the tip-sample gap with sub-Angstrom precision and observe a quantum quenching behavior, as well as a Schottky-Ohmic transition, for subnanometre gaps, which enable surface mapping based on this new contrast mechanism. This quantum regime of plasmonic gap-mode enhancement with a few nanometre thick MoS2 junction may be used for designing new quantum optoelectronic devices and sensors.

Accordingly, 80-, 160-, and 230-nm indium tin oxide films coated on 40 × 40 mm 125-µm-thick polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates, and monolayer graphene films coated on 40 × 40 mm 250-µm-thick PET substrates are inspected and analyzed under the curving conditions of 50-, 30-, 20-, and 10-mm radii before and after an 11,000 whole-folding cycle test based on a 10-mm folding radius. This study utilizes the changes in the phase retardations of transparent conductive film-coated polymer substrates under different curving conditions before and after 11,000 whole-folding cycles to analyze the substrates’ residual stress characteristics that were the direct result of manufacturing process parameters.

External Control of Electron Temperature in Ultra-cold Plasmas Roy O.Wilson Honors Thesis Colby College Department of Physics and Astronomy May 2007 Abstract This thesis discusses progress towards achieving external control of the elec- tron temperature and the Coulomb coupling parameter of ultra-cold plasmas. Using a Littman dye laser, we create the plasma by partially photoionizing a dense, cold sample of rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT). At a controllable time delay, we excite neutral atoms in the plasma to a specific Ry- dberg state using a narrow bandwidth pulsed dye laser. We have made progress towards optimizing and quantifying the achievable Rydberg atom density by us- ing mm-wave spectroscopy to control the evolution of a cold dense Rydberg sam- ple to plasma and have also begun preliminary investigations of plasma electron temperature measurements.

  • Polymer Characterization with the Atomic Force Microscope
    Chapter 4 Polymer Characterization with the Atomic Force Microscope U. Maver, T. Maver, Z. Peršin, M. Mozetič, A. Vesel, M. Gaberšček and K. Stana-Kleinschek Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/51060 1. Introduction 1.1. Atomic force microscopy Atomic force microscopy is a powerful characterization tool for polymer science, capable of revealing surface structures with superior spatial resolution [1]. The universal character of repulsive forces between the tip and the sample, which are employed for surface analysis in AFM, enables examination of even single polymer molecules without disturbance of their integrity [2]. Being initially developed as the analogue of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for the high-resolution profiling of non-conducting surfaces, AFM has developed into a multifunctional technique suitable for characterization of topography, adhesion, mechanical, and other properties on scales from tens of microns to nanometers [3]. 1.2. The technique A schematic representation of the basic AFM setup is shown in Figure 1. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), a tip attached to a flexible cantilever will move across the sample surface to measure the surface morphology on the atomic scale. The forces between the tip and the sample are measured during scanning, by monitoring the deflection of the cantilever [1]. This force is a function of tip sample separation and the material properties of the tip and the sample. Further interactions arising between the tip and the sample can be used to investigate other characteristics of the sample, the tip, or the medium in-between [4]. 1.2.1.
