Graduating with a master’s degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, Mark Thek concentrated his studies on physics and mathematics. While attending UCLA, Mark Thek developed molecular branding techniques using Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is related to laser beams and a rigid scattering of monochromatic light. “Inelastic scattering” as defined within Raman spectroscopy happens when the photons’ frequency in monochromatic light changes when it interacts with something. These molecular vibrations are used for sample quantitation and identification. When a laser is pointed at an object and bounces off, that light is shifted in what can be referred to as a Raman scatter. Vibrations of the molecules caused by this reflects the way that people perceive the wavelengths of light. Used primarily in chemistry, molecules are identified via rotational, vibrational, and other low-frequency styles. Raman technology has been used for more than 80 years and can help improve the quality of food consumed and products used by better understanding how light interacts with matter. |
