Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BURNABY, British Columbia, Oct. 15, 2013 — Photon Control R&D Ltd., the research and development partner of optical sensors maker Photon Control Inc., has received an Engage grant from the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERCC) to collaborate with Dr. Alexandre G. Brolo at the University of Victoria on Raman spectroscopy research, the company announced last week. Brolo is a specialist in nanomaterials and an authority on Raman spectroscopy, especially surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The project will allow the companies to build on their existing spectroscopy experience with a new...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    raman spectroscopy
    Raman spectroscopy is a technique used in analytical chemistry and physics to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. Named after the Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman who discovered the phenomenon in 1928, Raman spectroscopy provides information about molecular vibrations by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Here is a breakdown of the process: Incident light: A monochromatic (single wavelength) light, usually from a laser, is...
    surface-enhanced raman scattering
    Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful analytical technique that enhances the Raman scattering signal of molecules adsorbed on or near certain nanostructured surfaces. Raman scattering is a process in which light interacts with molecular vibrations, providing a fingerprint-like spectrum that can be used to identify and characterize chemical compounds. SERS significantly amplifies the Raman signal, making it more sensitive and allowing for the detection of molecules at very low...
