  • We developed a standoff Raman detection system for explosive molecules (EMs). Our system was composed of reflective telescope with 310 mm diameter lens, 532 nm pulse laser, and Intensified Charge-Coupled Device (ICCD) camera. In order to remove huge background noise coming from ambient light, laser pulses with nanosecond time width were fired to target sample and ICCD was gated to open only during the time when the scattered Raman signal from the sample arrived at ICCD camera. We performed standoff experiments with military EMs by putting the detector at 10, 20 and 30 m away from the source. The standoff results were compared with the confocal Raman results. Based on our standoff experiments, we were able to observe the peaks in the range of 1200 and $1600cm^{-1}$, where vibrational modes of nitro groups were appeared. The wave numbers and shapes of these peaks may serve as good references in detecting and identifying various EMs.

  • FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra were measured for 15Li$_{2}$O.3Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$.78SiO$_{2}$. 4K$_{2}$O glass system after UV irradiations. Optimum UV irradiation time of Li$_{2}$O.SiO$_{2}$ crystalline phase was 60 seconds and crystalline phase of Li$_{2}$O.SiO$_{2}$ was leached out on 5% HF. 977 cm$^{1}$ band of FT-Raman spectra can be attributed to two-non bridging oxygen in unit cell for 1 hour and optimum crystallization was confirmed for 3 hrs, 630.deg. C.

  • Optical signals based on Raman scattering, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), and harmonic generation can be used to image biological molecules in living cells without labeling. Both Raman scattering and CARS signals can be used to detect frequencies of molecular vibrations and to obtain the molecular distributions in samples. Second-harmonic optical signals can also be generated in structured arrays of noncentrosymmetric molecules and can be used to detect structured aggregates of proteins, such as, collagen, myosin and tubulin. Since labeling techniques using chemical and biological reactions may cause undesirable changes in the sample, label-free molecular imaging techniques are essential for observation of living samples.

  • In this study, PLZT stock solutions were prepared by sol-gel processing to fabricate PLZT thin films. The stock solutions were spin-coated on ITO-glass and the film were annealed by rapid thermal annealing(RTA). The variation of tile crystallographic structure of the thin films and the phase transition with respect to it were observed using Raman spectra. Raman result showed that the band of spectra are broad as the amount of Zr substitution increased and specially, abrupt change occurs in the raman spectra upon crossing the tetragonal-rhombohedral phase boundry at 2/55/45 PLZT thin film. So, the fact that the crystallographic structure was transitted from tetragonal to rhombohedral structure was certified.

  • The pH dependence studies of Raman spectra are reported for water-soluble free-base, Zn, Co and Cu tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphine in pH 4, pH 7 and pH 13.9 aqueous solution. For free base porphine, the substantial differences are found in absorption and Raman spectra between pH 4 and pH 7 or pH 10 aqueous solutions due to the protonation at low pH. For Zn and Co porphyrins, the hydrolysis equilibrium constants are obtained by spectrophotometric titration experiments. The consistent shifts in Raman frequencies are found at high pH due to the hydrolysis. For Cu porphyrins, instead of hydrolysis the aggregation effect is detected at high pH through the absorption and Raman studies.
