IS THERE AN APP FOR THAT?
HIGHLIGHTS OF APPS FOR SPECTROSCOPY
APP NAME: APE Optics Calculator
OFFERED BY: Stefan Popien
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 1.6 and up); iPhone, iPad, and iPod (requires iOS 6.1 or later; optimized for iPhone 5)
WHAT IT DOES: The APE Optics Calculator app is designed to help users evaluate nonlinear equations, including sum frequency generation, difference frequency generation, the wavelength relations in an optical parametric oscillator, and in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy. Reportedly, the conversion between wavelength, wavenumber, and frequency as well as different characterizations of pulses can be calculated.

Top content published this week include a panel discussion with five SpecAcademy instructors and a feature article on Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.
In this Q&A, we provide an overview of what the latest “What’s Nu” covered, which includes new research in environmental analysis and clinical analysis.
How has spectroscopy training changed? A recent panel discussion explored this topic, discussing how SpecAcademy can widen access without losing the value of hands-on instruction.
How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
A recent roundtable discussion with the SpecAcademy instructors explored why spectroscopy expertise has eroded and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it.
