WHITE PAPER
Andor Technology Ltd., Corporate Headquarters - Absorption / Transmission / Reflection Spectroscopy Absorption / Transmission / Reflection Spectroscopy
Andor Technology Ltd., Corporate Headquarters

Ultraviolet Visible Near-Infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectroscopy is useful to characterize the absorption, transmission, and reflectivity of a variety of technologically important materials, such as pigments, coatings, windows, and filters. This more qualitative application usually requires recording at least a portion of the spectrum for characterization of the optical or electronic properties of materials.
