Laser Micro-Raman Spectroscopy of CVD Nanocrystalline Diamond Thin Film

Laser micro-Raman spectroscopy is an ideal tool for assessment and characterization of various types of carbon-based materials. Due to its special optical properties (CrN) coated stainless steel substrates. NCD films have been investigated by laser micro-Raman spectroscopy. The fingerprint of diamond based materials is in the spectral region of 1000-1600 cm-1 in the first order of Raman scatter...

Laser Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

Fig. 7 — Principle of the photoacoustic effect. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), also known as optoacoustic spectro­ scopy, was pioneered by Alexander Graham Bell more than a century ago. The advent of the laser strongly stimu­ lated research and applications of this technique and the interest is such that international topical meetings on photo­ acoustic and photothermal phenomena are now hel...

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used for the detection and characterization of materials. In LIBS, a focused laser beam is used to generate a plasma plume on the surface of solid and liquid samples or inside the sample volume of gases, liquids, and aerosols. Each excited atom in the plasma emits a unique set of spectral lines, particula...

Laser Diode Gas Spectroscopy

The use of laser sources for optical spectroscopy experimentation is a well-established, cross-disciplinary field with an enormous number of applications in research areas as broad as Physics, Chemistry or Biology (Demtröder, 1996). The high optical intensity achieved with these types of sources, along with the extraordinary monochromaticity of their optical output, has a huge impact in spectro...
