History of spectroscopy

OverviewOrigins and experimental developmentDevelopment of quantum mechanicsMultiply ionized atomsInfrared and Raman spectroscopyLaser spectroscopyExternal linksModern spectroscopy in the Western world started in the 17th century. New designs in optics, specifically prisms, enabled systematic observations of the solar spectrum. Isaac Newton first applied the word spectrum to describe the rainbow of colors that combine to form white light. During the early 1800s, Joseph von Fraunhofer conducted experiments with dispersive spectrometers that enabled spectroscopy to become a more precise a
