Emission spectroscopy

Abstract

Emission spectroscopy is amongst the most sensitive of all analytical techniques and is widely used to characterize organic and inorganic colorant materials as well as to probe chemical structure, molecular environment and monitor degradative changes1–4. In concert with other spectroscopic techniques, luminescent measurements in particular offer advantages over other analytical methods in providing a rapid and non-destructive means of providing information at the molecular level. In recent years there have been significant advances in increasing the information that can be obtained from emission spectroscopy studies. The introduction of new light sources (e.g. picosecond and femtosecond lase..
