Join the audience for a live webinar at 3 p.m. BST/10 a.m. EDT on 13 October 2020 exploring the fundamentals of TERS through the history of near-field spectroscopic optics
Want to take part in this webinar?
Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) provides the vibrational information of a sample with nanometric resolution.
Obtaining physico-chemical information with such resolution opens up possibilities to characterize materials at unprecedented levels, which allows research findings unsuspected until recently.
This webinar introduces the fundamentals of TERS through the history of near-field spectroscopic optics. From the great idea of John Lighton Synge more than 90 years ago to the technical progress of scanning probe microscopy, the history of near-field optics crosses the emerging field of plasmonics and the discovery of the amplification of the Raman signal by Richard Van Duyne. A webinar prepared in collaboration with the HORIBA Scientific teams.

Marc Chaigneau received his PhD in solid-state physics from the University of Nantes in 2007. He joined the PICM lab (the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films) at Ecole Polytechnique as a postdoctoral associate in 2008 and was appointed tenured researcher in 2010. His research activities were concentrated on the instrumental development of Tip-Enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and stimulated TERS, as well as its application in strain measurements in semiconductors, nano-objects (CNTs, graphene) and the investigation of organic molecules at the nanoscale.
Marc is the author of three patents, one book chapter and more than 45 articles in peer-reviewed journals. He received the ASTRE (Actions of Support for Technology and Research in Essonne) Prize in 2013.
He joined HORIBA Scientific in 2015 to oversee R&D, applications and worldwide marketing of Raman spectroscopy products coupled with Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). He received the IP Award from the HORIBA group for innovative intellectual property in 2016.
