Spectroscopy is the branch of science dedicated to the investigation of electromagnetic spectra produced from the interaction between a sample and an energy source.
In the quality assurance/quality control industry, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) plays a key role in material testing. The uses of OES cover a large scope of applications, but it is generally used for material identification and composition certification to industry specifications.
