The Eyes Of The Instruments: Using Optical Filters To Observe And Measure Earth From A Different Perspective
“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.” H. James Harrington Since...
Ultralow-frequency Raman system down to 10 cm−1 with longpass edge filters and its application to the interface coupling in t(2+2)LGs
Ultralow-frequency (ULF) Raman spectroscopy becomes increasingly important in the area of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials; however, such measurement usually requires expensive and nonstandard equipment. Here, the measurement of ULF Raman signal down to 10 cm−1...
