If you want to find out what something is made out of, you’ll probably be using a spectrometer. These devices allow scientists to determine what something is made of by shining light through an object ...

A spectrometer is one of those tools that many of us would love to have, but just can’t justify the price of. Sure there are some DIY options out there, but few of them have the convenience or ...

Optical frequency comb sources provide thousands of precise and accurate optical lines in a single device enabling the broadband and high-speed detection required in many applications. A main ...

Each type of light source has its own spectral distribution that show the proportions between individual wavelengths. Using spectral distributions, qualitative aspects of light such as color and color ...

University of Illinois chemistry professor Alexander Scheeline has developed software that turns a camera phone, an LED, and a few other cheap tools into a spectrometer. Armed with these, he thinks we ...

Spectrometers are widely used tools in chemical and biological sensing, materials analysis and light source characterization. The development of a high-resolution on-chip spectrometer could enable ...

Any fiber optic assembly that consists of more than one fiber optic in a single cable is defined as a fiber optic bundle. A bifurcated fiber assembly is the most common example of a fiber optic bundle ...
