What could be the best way to smooth the spectrum (image attached)?

An emission spectrum in IR wavelength region consists of interference fringes (after spectral correction). How do I smooth such spectra? When collected through fiber, absorption around 950 nm...

Change of oxidation state of 'Cr' in Al2O3 during interaction with ionizing radiation?

Ruby (Al2O3 doped with Cr3+ ions), when exposed to ionizing radiation (for e.g. X-rays), emits luminescence. What is the mechanism that causes this 'Radio-luminescence? Does Cr3+ accept electrons...

Electron trapping in a defect at low temperature (7 K)?

Does trapping of electrons in a defect (trap) depend on temperature (below room temperature)? If yes, what are the possible reasons? I see that, these electrons appear to be trapped more (as well...

What is the temperature effect on the PL resulting from an excited state (of an impurity) which lies in high or low density of CB tail states?

If an excited state is considered to be lying in either low or high density conduction band tail states, how the temperature will affect the PL emission from that state? Is above scene possible?...

How do I modify a fitting function (Gaussian or Bigaussian ) when peak positions in spectra keep changing with temperature?

Two peaks in my PL spectra keep shifting towards each other when temperature is taken from 7K to 295K and finally merge into one. I need to deconvolute them at each stage to have better...

Physics: Why do we describe light by referring to its wavelength, but microwaves and radar pulses by referring to their frequency?

In physics, the description of the properties of light generally refers to its wavelength (nm), while in the range of microwaves and radio waves we refer to the frequency of a signal (e.g. kHz or...
