Review on properties of light:photon
Light is energy in the form of electromagenetic field
Wavelength (l): Crest-to-crest distance between waves
Frequency (n): Number of complete oscillations that the wave makes each second
units:
number of oscillations/sec or s-1 or Hertz |(Hz)
Light travelling speed:
in other media: c/n (n = refractive index, generally >1)
in a vacuum: c=2.998 x 108 m s-1
(n=1 exactly, in air n=1.0002926)
c/n= nl
And of course, the relationship between energy and frequency:
~
E = hn = hc/l = hc n
h = Planck’s constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s)
n =~wavenumber (most common units = cm-1)
Therefore:
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength
but proportional to wavenumber
Frequency Scanning Techniques: a few definitions
Emission method: source of light is sample
Absorption method: intensities of a source with and without the sample in place are
compared
Spectrum: a plot of intensity vs. frequency/wavelength
In quantitative analysis:
common to work at 1 wavelength
running a spectrum is an important initial step (to select best conditions)

Light sources
What is the important properties of a source?
Brightness
Line width
Background
Stability
Lifetime
Black-body radiation for vis and IR but not UV
- a tungsten lamp is an excellent source of black-body radiation
- operates at 3000 K
( How much in cm-1, J, Hz and eV?)
- produces l from 320 to 2500 nm
For UV:
- a common lamp is a deuterium arc lamp
- electric discharge causes D2 to dissociate and emit UV radiation (160 – 325 nm)
- other good sources are:
Xe (250 – 1000 nm)
Hg (280 – 1400 nm)
Lasers:
- high power
- very good for studying reactions
- narrow line width
- coherence
- can fine-tune the desired wavelength (but choice of wavelength is limited)
- £££ expensive £££
Sample a source containers:
for UV: quartz (won’t block out the light)
for vis: glass [l 800nm (red) to l 400 nm (violet)]
for IR: NaCl (to or 15384 nm or 650 cm-1)
KBr (to 22222 nm or 450 cm-1)
CsI (to 50000 nm or 200 cm-1)
Best material: diamond, why?
Optical transmission coefficient
Criteria
High transmission
Chemically inert
Mechanically strong
Monochromators
Early spectrophotometers used prisms
- quartz for UV
Why?
- glass for vis and IR
These are now superseded by:
Diffraction gratings:
- made by drawing lines on a glass with a diamond
stylus
ca. 20 grooves mm-1 for far IR
ca. 6000 mm-1 for UV/vis
- can use plastic replicas in less expensive
instruments
Think of diffraction on a CD

Monochromators: cont’d
What is the purpose of concave mirrors?
Polychromatic radiation enters
The light is collimated the first concave mirror
Reflection grating diffracts different
wavelengths at different angles
Second concave mirror focuses each wavelength at
different point of focal plane
Orientation of the reflection grating directs only one
narrow band of wavelengths to exit slit

Phase relationship
n=1, 2, 3 In-phase
n=1/2, 3/2, 5/2 out-phase
Monochromators: reflection grating
Monochromators: reflection grating
Each wavelength is diffracted off the grating at a different angle
Angle of deviation of diffracted beam is wavelength dependent  diffraction grating
separates the incident beam into its constituent wavelengths components
Groove dimensions and spacings are on the order of the wavelength in question
In order for the emerging light to be of any use, the emerging light beams must be in phase
with each other
l
Resolution of grating:
Dl
Angular resolution:

So:
Therefore:
=nN
n: diffraction order
N: number of illuminated groves
d sin(q)+d sin(f)=nl
n Dl=d cos(f) Df
Df/Dl=n/[d cos(f)]
What does this mean?
Monochromators: slit
Bottom line:
- it is usually possible to arrange slits and
mirrors so that the first order (n = 1) reflection
is separated
- a waveband of ca. 0.2 nm is obtainable
However, the slit width determines the
resolution and signal to noise ratio
Large slit width: more energy reaching the
detector  higher signal:noise
Small slit width: less energy reaching the
detector BUT better resolution!
Detectors
: Radiation-----charger converter
Choice of detector depends upon what wavelength you are studying
Want the best response for the wavelength (or wavelength range) that you are studying
In a single-beam spectrophotometer, the 100% transmittance control must be adjusted
each time the wavelength is changed
In a double-beam spectrophotometer, this is done for you!
Photomultiplier-single channel, but very high sensitivity
- Light falls on a photosensitive alloy
(Cs3Sb, K2CsSb, Na2KSb)
- Electrons from surface are
accelerated towards secondary
electrodes called dynodes and
gain enough energy to remove
further electrons (typically 4-12,
to 50 with GaP).
- For 9 stages giving 4 electrons for
1, the amplification is 49 or 2.6 x
105)
- The output is fed to an amplifier
which generates a signal
- To minimise noise it is necessary to
operate at the lowest possible
voltage
What decide the sensitive wavelength?
Photodiode Array-multiplex, but low sensitivity
Good for quick (fraction of a second) scanning of a full spectrum
Uses semiconductor material:
Remember:
n-type silicon has a conduction electron – P or As doped
p-type silicon has a ‘hole’ or electron vacancy – Al or B doped
A diode is a pn junction:
under forward bias, current flows from
n-Si to p-Si
under reverse bias, no current flows
boundary is called a depletion layer or
region
Photodiode Array
- Electrons excited by light partially discharge the condenser
- Current which is necessary to restore the charge can be detected
- The more radiation that strikes, the less charge remains
- Less sensitive than photomultipliers  several placed on placed on single crystal
- Different wavelengths can be directed to different diodes
- Good for 500 to 1100 nm
- For some crystals (i.e. HgCdTe) the response time is about 50 ns
Could you compare photodiode with CCD detector?
Photodiode Array Spectrophotometer
- For photodiode array spectrophotometers, a white light passes through sample
- The grating polychromator disperses the light into the component wavelengths
- All wavelengths are measured simultaneously
- Resolution depends upon the distance between the diodes and amount of dispersion
No moving parts!
Simple mechanical and optical design, very compact.
Photodiode Array Spectrophotometers
vs Dispersive Spectrophotometers
Dispersive Spectrophotometer:
- only a narrow band of wavelengths reaches the detector at a time
- slow spectral acquisition (ca. 1 min)
- several moving parts (gratings, filters, mirrors, etc.)
- resolution: ca. 0.1 nm
- produces less stray light  greater dynamic range for measuring high absorbance
- sensitive to stray light from outside sources i.e. room light
Photodiode Array
Spectrophotometer:
- no moving parts  rugged
- faster spectral acquisition (ca.
1 sec)
- not dramatically affect by room
light
What are the components 1 to 10?
From: http://www.oceanoptics.com/
Property of luminescence spectrum
Fluorescence vs phosphorescence
1. Phosphorescence is always at longer wavelength compared with fluorescence
2. Phosphorescence is narrower compared with fluorescence
3. Phosphorescence is weaker compared with fluorescence
Why?
Absorption vs emission
1. absorption is mirrored relative to emission
2. Absorption is always on the shorter wavelength compared to emission
3. Absorption vibrational progression reflects vibrational level in the electronic excited
states, while the emission vibrational progression reflects vibrational level in the
electronic ground states
4. l0 transition of absorption is not overlap with the l0 of emission

Emission spectrum: hold the excitation wavelength steady and measure the emission at
various wavelengths
Excitation spectrum: vary the excitation wavelength and vary the wavelength measured
for the emitted light
