  4. Emission of Photons Electromagnetic radiation is emitted when electrons relax from excited states. A photon of the energy equivalent to the difference in electronic states Is emitted Ehi e Elo Frequency 1/s

  5. Really Basic Optics Key definitions Phase angle Atomic lines vs molecular bands Atomic Line widths (effective; natural) Doppler broadening Molecular bands Continuum sources Blackbody radiators Coherent vs incoherent radiation

  6. Theoretical width of an atomic spectral line

  7. Natural Line Widths frequency • Line broadens due • Uncertainty • Doppler effect • Pressure • Electric and magnetic fields Lifetime of an excited state is typically 1x10-8 s

  8. Example: 253.7 nm Typical natural line widths are 10-5 nm

  9. Line broadens due • Uncertainty • Doppler effect • Pressure • Electric and magnetic fields

  10. Line broadens due • Uncertainty • Doppler effect • Pressure • Electric and magnetic fields The lifetime of a spectral event is 1x10-8 s When an excited state atom is hit with another high energy atom energy is transferred which changes the energy of the excited state and, hence, the energy of the photon emitted. This results in linewidth broadening. The broadening is Lorentzian in shape. We use pressure broadening On purpose to get a large Line width in AA for some Forms of background correction FWHM = full width half maximum o is the peak “center” in frequency units

  11. Line spectra – occur when radiating species are atomic particles which Experience no near neighbor interactions • Line broadens due • Uncertainty • Doppler effect • Pressure • Electric and magnetic fields Line events Can lie on top Of band events Overlapping line spectra lead to band emission

  12. Continuum emission – an extreme example of electric and magnetic effects on broadening of multiple wavelengths High temperature solids emit Black Body Radiation many over lapping line and band emissions influenced by near neighbors

  13. Stefan-Boltzmann Law Planck’s Blackbody Law = Energy density of radiation h= Planck’s constant C= speed of light k= Boltzmann constant T=Temperature in Kelvin = frequency Wien’s Law • As  ↓(until effect of exp takes over) • As T,exp↓, 

  14. Really Basic Optics Key definitions Phase angle Atomic lines vs molecular bands Atomic Line widths (effective; natural) Doppler broadening Molecular bands Continuum sources Blackbody radiators Coherent vs incoherent radiation

  15. Incoherent radiation The Multitude of emitters, even if they emit The same frequency, do not emit at the Same time A B Frequency,, is the Same but wave from particle B lags behind A by the Phase angle 

  16. END: Key Definitions Begin Using Constructive and Destructive Interference patterns based on phase lag By manipulating the path length can cause an originally coherent beam (all in phase, same frequency) to come out of phase can accomplish Many of the tasks we need to control light for our instruments • Constructive/Destructive interference • Laser • FT instrument • Can be used to obtain information about distances • Interference filter. • Can be used to select wavelengths

  17. More Intense Radiation can be obtained by Coherent Radiation Lasers Beam exiting the cavity is in phase (Coherent) and therefore enhanced In amplitude

  18. Argument on the size of signals that follows is from Atkins, Phys. Chem. p. 459, 6th Ed Is the energy density of radiation already present at the frequency of the transition N* and No are the populations of upper state and lower states Stimulated Emission Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Photons can stimulate Emission just as much As they can stimulate Absorption (idea behind LASERs Stimulated Emission) * o The rate of stimulated event is described by : Where w =rate of stimulated emission or absorption The more perturbing photons the greater the Stimulated emission B= empirical constant known as the Einstein coefficient for stimulated absorption or emission

  19. can be described by the Planck equation for black body radiation at some T frequency In order to measure absorption it is required that the Rate of stimulated absorption is greater than the Rate of stimulated emission If the populations of * and o are the same the net absorption is zero as a photon is Absorbed and one is emitted

  20. Need to get a larger population in the excited state Compared to the ground state (population inversion) Degeneracies of the different energy levels Special types of materials have larger excited state degeneracies Which allow for the formation of the excited state population inversion Serves to “trap” electrons in the excited State, which allows for a population inversion E pump

  21. Constructive/Destructive interference • Laser • FT instrument • Can be used to select wavelengths • Can be used to obtain information about distances • Holographic Interference filter. Radiation not along the Path is lost mirror mirror • Stimulated emission • Single phase • Along same path • =Constructive Interference • Coherent radiation Multiple directions, Multiple phase lags Incoherent radiation

  22. FTIR Instrument • Constructive/Destructive interference • Laser • FT instrument • Can be used to select wavelengths • Can be used to obtain information about distances • Holographic Interference filter.

  23. Time Domain: 2 frequencies 1 “beat” cycle

  24. B Fixed mirror A C Moving mirror Beam splitter IR source detector Constructive interference occurs when

  25. -2 -1 +1 0

  26. INTERFEROGRAMS Remember that: Frequency of light

  27. An interferometer detects a periodic wave with a frequency of 1000 Hz when moving at a velocity of 1 mm/s. What is the frequency of light impinging on the detector?

  28. No need to SELECT Wavelength by using Mirror, fiber optics, Gratings, etc.

  29. FOURIER TRANSFORMS Advantages • Jaquinot or through-put • little photon loss; little loss of source intensity • Large number of wavelengths allows for ensemble averaging • (waveform averaging) 3. This leads to Fellget or multiplex advantage multiple spectra in little time implies?

  30. DIFFRACTION Huygen’s principle = individual propagating waves combine to form a new wave front • Constructive/Destructive interference • Laser • FT instrument • Can be used to select wavelengths • Can be used to obtain information about distances • Holographic Interference filter. Can get coherent radiation if the slit is narrow enough. Coherent = all in one phase

  32. Fraunhaufer diffraction at a single slit

  33. D d B F’ E W O L F C From which we conclude

  34. D The complete equation for a slit is d B E W L b=W/2 Width of the line depends upon The slit width!! Therefore resolution depends On slit width Also “see” This spectra “leak” of Our hard won intensity

  35. The base (I=0) occurs whenever sinβ =0 Which occurs when The smaller the Slit width the Smaller The line width, Which leads To greater Spectral Resolution Remember R is Inversely proportional To the width of The Gaussian base

  36. SLIT IMAGE Slit A 1 2 3 B Position number 1 2 3 4 5 Image When edge AB at Detector Sees Position 1 0% power Position 2 50% power Position 3 100% power Position 4 50% power Position 5 0 % power Detector output: Triangle results when Effective bandpass = image To resolve two images that are ∆ apart requires Implies want a narrower slit

  37. Essentially, Narrow slit widths Are generally better

  44. Another way to look at it is to say We Lose some of the light Not all of it ends up at the intended angle of reflection Light of 100 Nm shows up At -30.4 AND -17.88 And -6.1 And 5.3 Etc.

  45. GRATING DISPERSION D-1 = Reciprocal linear dispersion Where n= order F = focal length d= distance/groove POINT = linear dispersion
