Senior Design Team Develops High Speed Spectroscopy System

The high speed spectroscopy senior design team members. Left to right: Imad, Anatoliy, Devanand, Carlos, Nick, and Justin.
A senior design teams under the direction of Dr. Seetha Raghavan has completed the design of a novel high speed spectroscopy system. The team developed a technique that enables piezospectroscopy in conjunction with high strain rate testing. This technique includes a novel approach to spectral peak shift tracking which utilizes a series of etalons, PMTs, and original software, capable of detecting photo-luminescent peak shifts as fast as a few microseconds. Congratulations to the team on their graduation.
