Published: August 2011

A three-channel spectrometer (3CS) based on a commercial digital camera was developed to distinguish among tens of large (>100 nm), anisotropic plasmonic particles with various shapes, orientations, and compositions on a surface simultaneously. Using band pass filters and polarizers, the contrast of 3CS images could be enhanced to identify specific orientation and composition characteristics of gold and gold-silver nanopyramids and as well as the direction of the longest arm of gold nanostars.

A three-channel thermal dissociation cavity ring-down spectrometer for simultaneous measurement of ambient total peroxy nitrates, total alkyl nitrates, and NO.

Talanta

April 2024

Key Laboratory of Environmental Optics and Technology, Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei, 230031, China.

A newly constructed thermal dissociation cavity ring-down spectrometer (TD-CRDS) for the simultaneous measurement of ambient total peroxy nitrates (ΣPNs, RONO), total alkyl nitrates (ΣANs, RONO), and NO was presented in this work. ΣPNs and ΣANs were detected as NO with the CRDS instrument after thermal dissociation. PNs and ANs completely dissociated at 180 °C and 360 °C, with conversion efficiencies of 96 % and 99 %, respectively.

We have developed a compact, asymmetric three-channel echelle spectrometer with remarkable high-spectral resolution capabilities. In order to achieve the desired spectral resolution, we initially establish a theoretical spectral model based on the two-dimensional coordinates of spot positions corresponding to each wavelength. Next, we present an innovative and refined method for precisely calibrating echelle spectrometers through parameter inversion.

The paper discusses a novel three-channel method to distinguish the formation oils, water, and uranine-based drilling mud and to monitor the clean-up process in the downhole fluid analysis systems. The proposed method is based on the study of the fluorescence spectra of the formation fluid or drilling mud samples. The experiment for different excitation sources (365 nm, 395 nm LEDs, and 405 nm, 460 nm laser sources) was carried out; the spectra were recorded with a VISION2GO VIS spectrometer.

College of Information Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266061, China.

Raman spectroscopy has the advantages of multi-component detection, with a simple device and wide concentration ranges, and it has been applied in environmental monitoring and gas logging. However, its low sensitivity has limited its further applications. In fact, the Raman signal is not weak, but the utilization efficiency of the Raman signal is low, and most of the signal is wasted.

Department of Chemistry and Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, United States. Electronic address:

We describe the design and construction of a modular, triple-resonance, fully balanced, DNP-MAS probe based on transmission line technology and its integration into a 500 MHz/330 GHz DNP-NMR spectrometer. A novel quantitative probe design and characterization strategy is developed and employed to achieve optimal sensitivity, RF homogeneity and excellent isolation between channels. The resulting three channel HCN probe has a modular design with each individual, swappable module being equipped with connectorized, transmission line ports.
