Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), in which the diffuse and scattered light returning from a sample can reveal details of its composition, has been widely studied as a means to measure hemoglobin ...

In the early 1940s, the first commercial dispersive spectrometers emerged for UV-Vis applications. This technology is based on the dispersion of light in dependence of its wave-lengths. The dispersion ...

We apply routine techniques of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to establish a systematic procedure for global analysis of the in situ reflectance from coastal water over the 400-900 nm region of the ...
