The Optical Society of America (OSA) has shifted its Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress to an all-virtual web conference format, free to attendees. The event will be held June 22–26, 2020.
OSA’s Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress provides a forum to facilitate reporting on the latest optical-based sensor advances, bring together major sensor developers and users, and provide a showcase for the latest sensor prototypes and products.
The conference program includes five core topic areas: applied industrial spectroscopy; laser applications to chemical, security, and environmental analysis; optical sensors; optics, and photonics for sensing the environment; and propagation through and characterization of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena. Each topic area will include a mix of plenary, keynote, and tutorial sessions, and poster presentations. Within the Applied Industrial Spectroscopy Topical meetings there are sessions on agriphotonics, process spectroscopy, applications in extraction industries and harsh environments, mobile spectroscopy, and bridging from data to information.
Technical sessions will be presented live from the Pacific Daylight Time Zone (PDT) with a recorded archive available later for on-demand viewing.
More information about the event, including how to register for free, is available on the society’s website, at

Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
Researchers Develop Adaptive Gap-Tunable SERS Device
April 24th 2024In a new study, researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology and Pohang University of Science and Technology presented a new surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) device, improving gap plasmon resonance.
