There has been a very strong development of the sensors based on surface plasmon resonance during the last thirty years, mostly for biological and biomedical applications. If the first experiments in this field were carried out at the beginning of the 20t ...
Mid-infrared detectors that are sensitive only in a tunable narrow spectral band are presented. They are based on the Resonant Cavity Enhanced Detector (RCED) principle and employing a thin active region using IV-VI narrow gap semiconductor layers. A Fabry ...
The mid-infrared range is of interest in spectroscopic applications, due to the large number of organic compounds that exhibit characteristic absorption bands in this spectral region. Semiconductor technology, however, has been developed mainly for the nea ...
We present here ultraviolet and infrared spectra of protonated aromatic amino acids in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. Ultraviolet photofragmentation spectra of protonated tyrosine and phenylalanine show vibronically resolved bands corresponding to different sta ...
This paper presents continuative results on the design, fabrication and measurements of a vertically moving, electrostatically actuated micromirror, first shown at the IEEE MEMS 2007 [N. Quack, I. Züst, S. Blunier, J. Dual, M. Arnold, F. Felder, M. Rahim, ...
Selective multi-gas detection is often based on spectroscopic methods in the infrared region. The resulting setup consists of a spectrometer and the probing setup where often the spectrometer makes the sensing device large and heavy and does not allow easy ...
Infrared scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR-SNOM) is an extremely powerful analytical instrument since it combines IR spectroscopy's high chemical specificity with SNOM's high spatial resolution. In order to do this in the infrared, specialty chalc ...
Infrared spectroscopy provides a means to determine the intrinsic geometrical structures of molecules. Here we present a novel spectroscopic method that uses superfluid helium nanodroplets to record IR spectra of cold molecular ions, in this particular cas ...
We introduce a general scheme for calculating from first principles both the transverse-optical and longitudinal-optical infrared absorption spectra at surfaces or interfaces. A spatial decomposition of the spectra gives the evolution of the infrared activ ...
Wavelength tunable emitters and detectors in the mid-IR wavelength region allow applications including thermal imaging and spectroscopy. Such devices may be realized using a resonant cavity. By mechanically changing the cavity length with MEMS mirror techn ...
