CCCC & LASER-TEC HI-TEC CONFERENCE PRESENTATION, JULY 2019

 “Spectroscopy” is considered the analysis of material, substance or matter through the observance of how it responds to different wavelengths. The response may be reflection, absorption, scattering, etc.  Visible and near- 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

spectroscopy

 Coherent anti-Stokes (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

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.

studies the /mass spectrum of hadrons according to spin, parity, and other particle properties. Baryon spectroscopy and meson spectroscopy are both types of hadron spectroscopy.

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 that can also measure optically forbidden transitions.

 Inelastic 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 [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.

spectroscopy measures internal dynamics in 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.

spectroscopy exploits and optical activity effects to reveal detailed information on chiral centers in .  Raman spectroscopy

 Scanning tunneling spectroscopy

 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)

 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

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.  “ Nuggets” just waiting to be mined!  55 Companies Found  Let's look at the possible untapped market.
