SPIE - Education Practical Guide to Spectral Measurements SC1177

Have you asked questions such as: “Is there a less expensive alternative to costly laboratory spectrophotometers? “ or “What components should I use to build my own spectral measurement system?” If so, you will benefit from this course. In it, you will learn the fundamentals for designing, building and using a custom system for spectroscopic measurements using off-the-shelf components. The course will begin with a short introduction on spectroscopy theory, review basic optical components and their use, and conclude with examples of hardware setups ranging from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. A primary goal of this course is to demystify the creation of an effective spectroscopic solution optimized for your needs.
