Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

Researchers have developed a new fabrication process that allows infrared (IR) glass to be combined with another glass and formed into complex miniature shapes. The new technique can be used to create ...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy merges infrared (IR) spectroscopy with visualization. As IR spectroscopy offers high specificity for molecular structure and chemical composition, ...

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is suitable for qualitative analysis of initial polymer materials and end products. With this technique, components of polymer mixtures can be measured and in-process ...

Definition: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is a highly specialized type of IR spectroscopy. It's the most common way IR measurements are carried out today. FTIR is known for its speed, ...

Submicron and nanoscale chemical identification of semiconductor materials, particularly organic ones, poses a considerable challenge in the analysis of devices and also in the process control and ...
