Deciphering UV Spectroscopy on Earth and Mars.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
Spectroscopy consists of a variety of techniques that often probe materials with light. Light can be absorbed and excite particular chromophores that give insight into electronic structure or can be scattered that gives insight into vibrational structure. To enable successful measurements, one needs to understand the technology behind the spectroscopy and what parameters can be adjusted to affect signal to noise. The thesis presented here illustrates how absorption, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopies can all be employed to determine the structure of molecules on Earth and how we can use analog datasets to predict what we observe on Mars.
