Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

All fibers were analyzed directly without additional modification or sampling accessories. The O-PTIR spectra resemble transmission-like IR spectra in non-contact (far-field) mode. Through spatially ...

AFM-IR spectroscopy, also known as nanoscale IR spectroscopy, has an ever growing list of application areas, including in microelectronics, pharmaceutical science, polymer characterization and life ...

Infrared and Raman spectroscopies can observe different types of molecular vibrations. Using both methods on a compound provides a more complete molecular picture than either alone. But the two ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

Learn how spectroscopy facilitates non-invasive, real-time bio-monitoring, enhancing decision-making in healthcare, ...

Microplastics have recently gained significant scientific and political attention and are now regarded as a critical environmental and health concern. This has led to a surge in research on ...
