Horiba scientists wrote this tutorial to help people learn about Raman spectroscopy. The authors write clearly and provide great illustrations to accompany the text. The tutorial addresses the theory of Stokes & anti-Stokes Raman scattering, SERS and other techniques. In addition, the tutorial introduces the instruments needed for Raman experiments - like lasers, optics, and microscopes.…

When infrared light is absorbed by molecules, it causes them to vibrate. This paper includes computer animations of molecules vibrating. The animations show two simple molecules (sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide) vibrating in different modes. In the examples, animated movies show the fundamental vibrational modes of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. Similarly, animations show the composite…
This animated tutorial explains the principles behind the operation of the interferometer in an FTIR spectrometer. The tutorial examples start from a single wavelength so that students can begin with an easier example. After that, the examples explain the superposition of multiple wavelengths. Finally, the tutorial explains the connection between an interferogram and a frequency domain…
JCAMP formatted spectra and javascript are used to lead the user through the analysis of IR spectra. The software asks the user a series of questions about the spectrum, and provides correction if the user answers incorrectly.The website is available here .
