Line pairs, optical

Since the lifetime of a state may be shortened by factors other than chemical reaction, notably by intermolecular or intramolecular energy transfer, information about chemical reactions is obtained by observing the effect of factors such as temperature, reactant concentrations, or pH upon the line shape. Optical spectra are rarely suitable for this purpose since they will only be broadened by extremely fast reactions, but the broadening of the Raman lines of the trifiuoroacetate ion in presence of trifluoroacetic acid has been attributed to proton exchange in ion pairs. 

There are other spatial frequency units that are image size or format invariant like line pairs per millimetre or cycle per millimetre which are often used in the evaluation of optical components. But these units are not suitable for the particular purpose of evaluating the integral performance of a CMS and it was not adopted in ISO 16505 2015. 

The vibrational frequency of the special pair P and the bacteriochlorophyll monomer B have also been extracted from the analysis of the Raman profiles [39,40,42,44,51]. Small s group has extensively performed hole-burning (HB) measurements on mutant and chemically altered RCs of Rb. Sphaeroides [44,45,48-50]. Their results have revealed low-frequency modes that make important contribution to optical features such as the bandwidth of absorption line-shape, as well as to the rate constant of the ET of the RCs. 

The approach to the critical point, from above or below, is accompanied by spectacular changes in optical, thermal, and mechanical properties. These include critical opalescence (a bright milky shimmering flash, as incident light refracts through intense density fluctuations) and infinite values of heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient aP, isothermal compressibility /3r, and other properties. Truly, such a confused state of matter finds itself at a critical juncture as it transforms spontaneously from a uniform and isotropic form to a symmetry-broken (nonuniform and anisotropically separated) pair of distinct phases as (Tc, Pc) is approached from above. Similarly, as (Tc, Pc) is approached from below along the L + G coexistence line, the densities and other phase properties are forced to become identical, erasing what appears to be a fundamental physical distinction between liquid and gas at all lower temperatures and pressures. 

The LPA instrument of Mount (42) uses a XeCl laser to monitor absorption near the Qi(S) line group. The laser beam, expanded in a telescope to an initial area of 150 cm2, is reflected from a retroreflector array for a total optical path of 20.6 km. The returned beam and a portion of the outgoing beam follow symmetric paths through an echelle spectrograph to a pair of photodiode array detectors, thus providing both I and Z0 spectra for the... 

A cyclic compound that has two differently substituted asymmetric carbons will have 22 = 4 optical isomers. These will consist of pairs of cis and trans enantiomers. When the asymmetric centers have identical substituents, the cis isomer will have an internal reflection plane and is called a meso form. The meso forms of ds-l,2-dicarboxycyclopropane are shown in panels (b) and (d) of Figure 1.16 in a line angle drawing and as a molecular model. 

The beam was passed through a pulse picker (4). In order to compensate pulse broadening ( chirp ) introduced by the pulse picker and to precompensate that caused by other bulky optics (lenses, polarizers etc.), the beam was passed through a group velocity dispersion compensation line (5), consisting of a pair of Brewster prisms and a mirror [20], The temporal width of the pump and probe pulses was checked with a fringe-resolved... 

Fig. 2.3 Solvent screening of electronic couplings between chromophores in the four photo-syntletic proteins PE545 (pink triangles), PC645 (blue inverted triangles), PSII/LHCII (green circles). The protein medium is modeled as a dielectric continuum medium with a relative static constant of estat = 15 and optical dielectric constant of n2 = 2. Calculated values for the solvent screening factor s for the various chromophores pairs. The Forster value I jnl and the Onsager value 3(2n1 + 1) are indicated by the horizontal line...
