APE Optics Calculator
The APE Optics Calculator app is designed to help users evaluate nonlinear equations, including sum frequency generation, difference frequency generation, the wavelength relations in an optical parametric oscillator, and in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy.
IS THERE AN APP FOR THAT?
HIGHLIGHTS OF APPS FOR SPECTROSCOPY
APP NAME: APE Optics Calculator
OFFERED BY: Stefan Popien
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 1.6 and up); iPhone, iPad, and iPod (requires iOS 6.1 or later; optimized for iPhone 5)
WHAT IT DOES: The APE Optics Calculator app is designed to help users evaluate nonlinear equations, including sum frequency generation, difference frequency generation, the wavelength relations in an optical parametric oscillator, and in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy. Reportedly, the conversion between wavelength, wavenumber, and frequency as well as different characterizations of pulses can be calculated.

Improving Fluorescence and Raman Techniques for Environmental Microplastic Analysis
March 31st 2025A recent study conducted at the LaserLaB Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands) explored spectroscopic imaging techniques, including Raman and fluorescence microscopy, for characterizing microplastics (MPs), focusing on optimizing sample preparation, particularly density separation, and Nile Red staining.Spectroscopy spoke to Merel Konings, corresponding author of the paper resulting from the study, about her work
New Study Provides Insights into Chiral Smectic Phases
March 31st 2025Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the molecular arrangement of the 7HH6 compound’s smectic phases using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy.
