Estimation of Molecular Dissociation Energies of Organic Solvents Using a Supercontinuum Source with 53% of Degree of Polarization

Abstract

Applying Infrared Spectroscopy, dissociation energies of the CH, CC and OH molecular bonds of acetone and isopropanol were obtained using a 1 − 5 µm broadband supercontinuum source, as originated from 40 cm highly nonlinear fiber.
