Pariah Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Mmmmm, spectroscopy. The summer program I'm working with has had students do both emission and absorption spectroscopy. Pretty cool stuff for high schoolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Go here and show 'em bits of the solar spectrum. Most of the features are atoms and some singly ionized elements, but there are some diatomic things there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 A little warmer, though. And I left one out from the list of things in the "visible window", OH, though that's way down around 3000A. Other molecules are found in the IR, CO the most prominent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Which one should we put in a laser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Depends on what wavelength you want out of the laser. Though it's hard to get simple diatomics to laze; their energy state structures are usually too simple to get a strong population inversion.

Cancer Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yeah. The chemical lasers so far have the high power niche still, though the free electron lasers may be able to overtake them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
