The Optical Society of America (OSA) has shifted its Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress to an all-virtual web conference format, free to attendees. The event will be held June 22–26, 2020.
OSA’s Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress provides a forum to facilitate reporting on the latest optical-based sensor advances, bring together major sensor developers and users, and provide a showcase for the latest sensor prototypes and products.
The conference program includes five core topic areas: applied industrial spectroscopy; laser applications to chemical, security, and environmental analysis; optical sensors; optics, and photonics for sensing the environment; and propagation through and characterization of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena. Each topic area will include a mix of plenary, keynote, and tutorial sessions, and poster presentations. Within the Applied Industrial Spectroscopy Topical meetings there are sessions on agriphotonics, process spectroscopy, applications in extraction industries and harsh environments, mobile spectroscopy, and bridging from data to information.
Technical sessions will be presented live from the Pacific Daylight Time Zone (PDT) with a recorded archive available later for on-demand viewing.
More information about the event, including how to register for free, is available on the society’s website, at

The Big Review III: Molecular Vibration Theory
January 2nd 2025It has occurred to me that, in the 10+ years I have been writing about molecular vibrations, I have never introduced my readers to its basic theory! I will rectify that now. Some of this is new material, and some will be review. Either way, it is important that all this material be covered in one place.
Raman Microscopy for Characterizing Defects in SiC
January 2nd 2025Because there is a different Raman signature for each of the polymorphs as well as the contaminants, Raman microscopy is an ideal tool for analyzing the structure of these materials as well as identifying possible contaminants that would also interfere with performance.
ICP-MS Highlights: A Spectroscopy Year in Review
December 28th 2024Reflecting on 2024, the editors of Spectroscopy highlight some of the most notable articles and online content on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).
