Spectroscopy Light Sources: Books & Web Links

In summary, spectroscopy is the study of how matter interacts with electromagnetic radiation. Light sources play a crucial role in spectroscopy, providing the necessary radiation to interact with a sample. Common light sources used in spectroscopy include lasers, incandescent lamps, LEDs, and arc lamps. Books and online resources, such as the NIST database and the Optical Society website, are available for learning more about spectroscopy light sources.

Can someone point me to good books or good web links that deal with standard light sources (standard lamps to be precise) used in spectroscopy?

What is spectroscopy?

Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. It involves the measurement and analysis of the different wavelengths of light emitted, absorbed, or scattered by a sample.

What are light sources commonly used in spectroscopy?

The most common light sources used in spectroscopy are lasers, incandescent lamps, LEDs, and arc lamps. These sources emit light at specific wavelengths, making them ideal for studying specific samples.

What is the role of light sources in spectroscopy?

The light source is a crucial component of spectroscopy as it provides the electromagnetic radiation needed to interact with the sample. The type of light source used will determine the wavelengths of light that can be studied.

Where can I find books on spectroscopy light sources?

There are many books available on spectroscopy light sources, both in print and online. Some popular titles include "Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids" by Edward D. Palik and "Spectroscopy: The Key to the Stars" by Keith Robinson.

Are there any reliable online resources for learning about spectroscopy light sources?

Yes, there are many reputable websites that provide information on spectroscopy light sources. Some recommended sources include the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) website, which has a database of common light sources, and the website of the Optical Society, which offers tutorials and educational resources on spectroscopy.
