Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a water soluble, non-ionic polymer with applications in drug delivery, protein precipitation, anti-biofouling, water-splitting, Li-ion batteries, and fuel cells. The interaction of PEG with water and electrolytes plays pivotal roles in such applications. Using interface-selective spectroscopy, heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation, and Raman difference spectroscopy with simultaneous curve fitting analysis, we show that water adopts different structures and orientations at the air/water-PEG interface, which depends on the molar mass of the PEG.

A normal grating is combined with an echelle grating in a conventional spatial heterodyne spectrometer to eliminate ghost images without using masks, and prevents interference among the spatial frequencies of different diffraction orders. Mathematical expressions and derivation processes are given for the spectral parameters in the FWGE-SHRS and a verification breadboard system is fabricated.

A prototype of the SFMG-SHRS is built using multi-gratings with four sub-gratings having groove densities of 320, 298, 276, and 254 gr/mm and separate filters with filter bands corresponding to the sub-gratings. We use the SFMG-SHRS to measure the Raman spectra of inorganic and organic compounds with various integration times, laser power, and transparent containers, compare measurements of microplastics with and without the separate filters, and measure mixtures of inorganic powders and organic solutions.

Raman spectroscopy allows for the unambiguous identification of materials through the inelastic scattering of light. This technique has a great many uses in various aspects of society from academic, scientific, and industry. This paper explores a specific type of Raman spectrometer called a spatial heterodyne Raman spectrometer (SHRSy), which is a variation of an interferometric spectrometer.

As a new type of persistent pollutant, microplastics pose a serious threat to the earth's ecological environment and human health. Efficient and reliable microplastic detection technology is of great significance in the management of microplastic pollution. Aiming at the problems of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), narrow spectral range and low spectral resolution in traditional microplastic detection technology, a splicing grating spatial heterodyne Raman spectroscopy (SG-SHRS) is proposed in this paper.
