Enhancing the Capabilities of Infrared Microscopy Apparatus

Abstract
My honors research consists of the design and optimization of a microscopy apparatus as an accessory to an existing macroscopic spectroscopy setup. Using this apparatus, spot sizes below 30 microns can be obtained with high enough intensity to measure infrared-active phonon features. In addition the main optical apparatus, I have developed electronic connections to interface to a mid-infrared detector, a purge gas housing to eliminate contamination from atmospheric vibrational resonances, and a sample stage with sub-micron precision translation to properly operate the apparatus in purge.
