Abstract
The main objective of the course is to explain to students the construction of spectroscopic systems, principles of measurements and basics of data analysis. The main focus is on optical spectroscopy from infrared to ultraviolet range, the lecture includes the X-ray spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance as well.
Key topics
Spectroscopic units and conversions
Sources of radiation (broadband, lasers)
Detectors (photomultiplier, photoconducting, CCD, photon counting) and their characteristics
Optical components (lenses, mirrors, optical fibers, polarizers, retarders, filters)
Dispersion spectrometers (prism, grating), construction, resolution
Fourier spectrometer
Propagation of electromagnetic wave in medium and the incidence on boundary, Lorentz oscillator
Techniques of optical spectroscopy:
Transmission (Beer-Lambert law, vibration in IR
Reflection (normals, phonons, Kramers-Kronig relations, data analysis)
ellipsometry (principle, configuration PSA, PSCA, sensitivity, surface roughness, determination of thickness and optical constants of a layer on substrate, multiangle ellipsometry, inversion problem)
IR microscopy (objectives, single element and focal plane array)
grazing incidence spectroscopy (TO, LO frequency, Berreman effect)
Attenuate total reflection - ATR, surface plasma resonance
Near field techniques (with aperture and apertureless)
Luminescence, time resolved spectroscopy, pump-probe spectroscopy, THz time domain spectroscopy
Profiles of spectral lines (Lorentz, asymmetric Lorentz, Gauss, Gauss-Lorentz) Raman spectroscopy
Group theory, symmetry and vibration
X-ray spectroscopy 1: X-ray sources, monochromatisation, index of refraction, absorption, imaging
X-ray spectroscopy 2: fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray detectors, photoemission spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, fine structure of absorption edge
Nuclear magnetic resonance
