Spectroscopy Resources

Optical spectroscopy uses light to probe the properties of materials or structures. By studying the wavelength and intensity of light that is emitted, transmitted, reflected or absorbed by a material or structure, various properties of the sample can be determined.

APPLICATION NOTE

What is a Spectrometer? Types and Uses

A spectrometer is a device that measures a continuous, non-discrete physical characteristic by first separating it into a spectrum of its constituent components.

APPLICATION NOTE

How Does a Spectrometer Work? Principles & Optics

Optical spectrometers take light and separate it by wavelength to create a spectra which shows the relative intensity of each. This basic principle has a wide range of applications and uses.

WRITTEN GUIDE

UV-Vis and IR Spectroscopy: How to Use a Spectrometer

Optical spectroscopy concerns light in the UV, visible and IR regions of the electromagnetic spectrum with is either emitted by, or interacts with, a sample.

WRITTEN GUIDE

What is Spectroscopy? Definition and Types

Spectroscopy refers to a range of techniques which are used to study the interaction between a radiative energy and matter.

WRITTEN GUIDE

Spectroscopy For Organic Electronics

The different types of spectroscopy can be categorised by either the application it is used for or by type of radiative energy employed. The application of spectroscopic methods in organic (carbon-based) chemistry and organic electronics is known as organic spectroscopy.

WRITTEN GUIDE

Photoluminescence: Fluorescence and Phosphorescence

Photoluminescence is luminescence resulting from photoexcitation. In other words, photoluminescence is when a material emits light following the absorption of energy from incident light from another light source.

WRITTEN GUIDE

Fluorescence Quenching and Non-Radiative Relaxation

Photoluminescence occurs when electrons relax from photoexcited states radiatively. Emissions resulting from singlet-singlet transitions are known as fluorescence. However, there are a number of ways in which electrons in these excited states can relax non-radiatively.

WRITTEN GUIDE

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF)

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) is a mechanism by which triplet state electrons can be harvested to generate fluorescence.

WRITTEN GUIDE

Exciplex and Excimer Absorption and Emission

An exciplex (or excited complex) is a complex formed between two different conjugated molecules (monomers), one of which is in an excited state.

WRITTEN GUIDE

Spectroelectrochemistry

Spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) is an experimental technique that combines electrochemistry and spectroscopy. While electrochemical experiments provide information on macroscopic properties like reaction rates, spectroscopic techniques give information on a molecular level, such as the structure of molecules and their electronic configuration.
