A primer on Artificial Neural Nets

Neural Networks (NNs), also known as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), are a specific subset of Machine Learning (ML). Deep Learning algorithms employ deep ANNs in order to exploit huge amounts of data to perform impressive tasks, often related to image and speech data, e.g. object detection and machine translation. Neural Networks were initially inspired by...

Towards a spectrometer calibration protocol for CARS, SRS and SR data
Figure 1: Correction workflows for CARS, SRS, and SR spectra. The correction sequence for SR data can be performed according to ref Bocklitz et al [1].

Towards a spectrometer calibration protocol for CARS, SRS and SR data

For the comparison of spontaneous Raman spectra (SR) and coherent Raman spectra (CRS), such as coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra (CARS) and stimulated Raman spectra (SRS), complex preprocessing, calibration and standardization workflows are needed. The modeling of the Raman ...
