At the end of this course, students will be able to
The objective of this course is to provide the necessary foundations for understanding infrared absorption line spectral profiles. The physical effects responsible for the different spectral profiles are first described in detail. Several elaborate profiles are then described. Finally, the importance of using highly elaborate spectral profiles is highlighted through various application examples, particularly atmospheric ones.
This course is a presentation of the major spectral profiling models currently in use. The basics describing the physical phenomena involved are first described. Then, several theoretical models are explained. Finally, numerous applications illustrating the use of these spectral profiles are given, showing the importance of these studies for both fundamental and applied reasons. The equations of the studied spectral profiles are given, without however establishing them analytically. The focus is on the physical phenomena responsible for these spectral profiles.Tutorial sessions allow students to deepen their understanding of a detailed profile described in a scientific article provided by teachers.
In-depth understanding of a scientific article provided individually to each student and describing an elaborate spectral profile.
Presentation on the board and in a PowerPoint presentation, or video in the case of distance learning. However, students are not permitted to make any audio or video recordings of the course.
Presentation of a paper (10 minutes oral presentation in front of the whole class and a manuscript of maximum 10 pages) on the comparison between two spectral profiles described in the literature. Two articles are provided by the teachers. The mark will take into account the physical approach of the reasoning and the clarity of the presentation.
There are no reference books. However, two or three journal articles will be provided by the teacher.
