Abstract: Properties of a sample that are dependent upon wavelength, such as IR absorption, can be detected and deconstructed into wavelets or other basis functions. These basis functions can be compared to determine which have a relatively high likelihood of being noise or signal, and an attenuation factor can be applied to each wavelet. A spectrum can be reconstructed from these wavelets that exhibits a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio than raw data co-adding would produce in significantly less measurement time.

Abstract: Methods described herein provide improvements on composite infrared absorption imaging. Scanning patterns described herein reduce erroneous measurements caused by thermal drift, as well as optical interference that occurs between light scattering from the top surface of the sample and light scattering from an underlying substrate.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include methods and apparatus for Fluorescent Enhanced Photothermal Infrared (FE-PTIR) spectroscopy and chemical imaging, which enables high sensitivity and high spatial resolution measurements of IR absorption with simultaneous confocal fluorescence imaging. In various embodiments, the FE-PTIR technique utilizes combined/simultaneous OPTIR and fluorescence imaging that provides significant improvements and benefits compared to previous work by simultaneous detection of both IR absorption and confocal fluorescence using the same optical detector at the same time.
