Mid-Infrared (Mid-IR) spectroscopy is extensively used for lubricant formulation and evaluation due to the detailed information on chemical composition offered by this technique. In recent years, it ...

The spectral region of the mid-infrared (mid-IR) contains 'fingerprints' of the most common molecular vibrations. This provides information on a sample's molecular composition and coordination, which ...

Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, a chip-based dual-comb spectrometer in the mid-infrared range, that requires no moving parts and can acquire spectra in less than 2 microseconds. The ...

The sensor system is based on a spectrometer and a mid-IR transmitting fibre. When the exposed central part of the fibre (the U-shape) touches a skin lesion, the system measures its characteristic mid ...

Imaging of chemical species using mid-infrared light is a key technique for bioimaging and environmental monitoring, but the mid-IR detectors needed for the task have tended to expensive, complex and ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS), Dresden, Germany, has previously presented a mobile MEMS scanning grating spectrometer in "sugar cube" format at Photonics West; the ...

(Nanowerk News) Over the last few years, researchers have demonstrated that light can serve as a spin-current generator, creating currents of angular momentum, in optical nanostructures known as ...
