Journal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 This paper presents a spectroscopic analysis and solubility study of rosin, copal, and Burmese amber samples to reveal the structural changes that occur during amber formation. The infrared spectra indicate that during the long geological process of amber formation, small resin molecules first crosslinked and slowly oxidized, eventually forming a ...

Thermal Temperature Measurements of Plasma Torch by Alexandrite Effect Spectropyrometer
Advances in Optical Technologies, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 An alexandrite effect spectropyrometer is used to directly measure the thermal temperature of an argon gas plasma jet from a 100 kW DC plasma torch, and the directly measured thermal temperature of the plasma is 11178 ± 382 K. By using the spectral correction function to delete the spectral lines and to correct its underlying spectrum of the relative ...

Raman Spectroscopy of Amphibole Inclusions in Emeralds
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 11, Page 1228-1234, November 2025.Emeralds containing elongated amphibole inclusions from Austria, Russia, Zambia and Zimbabwe were investigated with an optical microscope and Raman spectroscopy. The inclusions have various sizes and shapes; curved inclusions are frequently observed in emeralds from Zimbabwe and rarely in those from Zambia.
