A new method to record the time dependence of a transient absorption or emission spectrum produced by a single pulse of radiation is described. The time-resolved spectrum is produced by an image converter camera with streak capability. The streak image is scanned by a TV camera, the output of which is transferred to a computer. Apart from its time-saving aspect, the method is particularly useful for experiments with rare or radioactive chemicals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
