Various Spectroscopic Transitions Blue: One-photon absorption
FIG. A representation of the quantization of the energy of different types of motion.
Interaction of Light with Matter • Semiclassical Approach • Quantum Approach The probability for light absorption or emission (stimulated) per unit time (assuming linear polarized light & randomly oriented molecules) Dipole operator Radiation density No information about spontaneous emission Remedied by
Absorption Spectroscopy with Unpolarized Light • A Simplified System Absorbance of the sample due to true absorption FIG Schematic of absorbance measurement.
True Absorption: 不希望被偵測到! Click (Emitted isotropically) Preventing it from striking the detector (let the solid angle small) Dissipated via a j, b, h, or i Heat Fluorescence Phosphorescence Not True Absorption: 希望被偵測到! Can be effectively eliminated by a ref. measurement ??? Being detected if large particles are absent (frequency changes are so small) (also compensated by a ref. measurement) Emitted photon is deflected by a large angle (inelastic) (does not perturb absorbance measurements)

Absorption Spectroscopy with Polarized Light E.g., crystals For anisotropic samples, the measurement result depends on the orientation of the linearly polarized light Dichroism: Unequal absorption of two orthogonal linearly polarized light • Experimental Parameters • The uniaxial sample (two equivalent axes & one unique one) • Forpartially oriented samples: Incident linearly polarized light with polarization direction parallel the unique axis Perpendicular Unique axis
Degree of anisotropy • Potential artifacts • Sample birefringence will present for measurement of weak linear dichroism Charge distribution In an electric field Amplitude Application: Kornfield, J.
