Priority:1
Status: In-progress

Multimodal Platform for Raman and Nonlinear Optical Microscopy
and Microspectroscopy for Condensed Matter Studies


Leader:     G.M. Arzumanyan

Participating Countries, Institutes and International organizations:
Armenia, Belarus, Germany, Latvia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, France.

Scientific Programme:
Experimental studies of condensed matter by Raman, CARS (coherent antiStokes Raman spectroscopy), and SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) spectroscopy and microscopy. Research of structural and optical properties, surface morphology and other characteristics of condensed matter on the multimodal optical platform constructed on the basis of the confocal laser scanning microscope "CARS". Special attention will be given to the spectral-structural studies of membrane proteins using coherent and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The other research direction deals with up-conversion luminescence studies in different matrices (glass, glass-ceramics, films) activated by various rare-earth elements.}
