JCAMP-DX File

Most instrument vendor software provides for translation of native (proprietary) spectral files into raw JCAMP-DX files. The latter contain concatenated labeled-data-records (LDRs) with data-label names that are preceded by ## and followed by fields with descriptive text and spectral data. IRUG customizes raw JCAMP-DX files to create complete data records, containing information pertinent to cultural heritage analysis, such as age, color, and material source and treatment.

In IRUG JCAMP-DX files, LDRs are grouped as follows: header, originating institution details, instrument details, sample details, sampling details, additional sample details defined by IRUG, and spectral parameters and tabular data.

Raman spectroscopy

An instrumental technique used to identify an unknown substance by measuring the wavelength and intensity of light inelastically scattered from the substance’s molecules. The resulting Raman spectrum is compared to reference Raman spectra of known substances for information about the unknown substance’s molecular structure and for its characterization or identification. Raman and IR spectra often provide complementary information.
