Hello I'm Yaroslav and I'm in charge of customer support at late model. Alexi, CEO of Light Nova and today I would serve as operator for Yaroslav and for our new device Yaroslaw. Tell us about it. We would like to present like Novo G Pro ramen spectrometer might Nova RG Pro allows to access low frequency Roman range as low as 25 inverse centimeters. This specific device I'm holding in my hands has an excitation wavelength of 785 nanometers. Yeah, I see. It also comes with accessories when you order it. Yes, yeah, very successories. So we have different probes here. We have middle distance probe mounted on a device. We also have. Long distance probe, we have contact probe. We have polystyrene reference sample for testing the calibration. We have a USB stick with the software and calibration reports. And so on. Yes, we are very proud of this device. But before speaking how good it is, let's demonstrate first. Yeah, so over here I have a bunch of samples. And let's start with sulfur. Sulfur is a reference sample for low frequency ramen shifts according to ASTM standard and let's measure it. So I think so. I said I will serve as operator, so let me also capture. Yes. And we have a bunch of lines of low frequency ramen shifts and let's go to the very beginning of the spectral range and we see these lines. So the first one is at 25 point, 925.9 in centimeters and the line at 50 centimeters. And you see the calibration of the device is pretty good. We also have some other lines that longer run sheets up to 500. Yes yes, yes very nice so sorry 4 actually used as a sample to check the very low frequencies and we just did that let's measure something else yeah let's measure paracetamol and it's also another sample for ramen shift calibration in this case we can measure it right through the plastic packaging and. Let me help you. As usual, signal is good. You're saying? Yeah, it's pretty good. OK. So over here, what do we see? We see the fingerprint region, OK. And it's like typical fingerprints. Yes, this one. Characteristic of paracetamol and we have the low frequency range and low frequency range tells us about intermolecular interactions about the samples and basically polymorphs of the material. How this crystallized and it is extremely important for Pharmaceutical industry around 32. OK, and depend on polymorph and the shape of the spectrum and low frequency region would be different. Something else some point I have is a tablet of ibuprofen and actually when we were measuring this tablet we found out that there is a coating of titanium dioxide and inside we have ibuprofen and if I measure outside, I measure the code and let me. Focus it better. Focus it. Over here we see a typical spectrum of titanium dioxide. Yeah, there's three peaks in the region of around 501, peak at around 180, I believe. Yes. And I have a feeling that these two little pigs, they probably already from low frequency modes of ibuprofen. Yeah, could be that the coding is relatively thin. And then we shine the laser through the code and we pick up the strong low frequency mode. So now we measure. Inside the tablet and how it looks and. Maximize the signal a bit please. Yeah, OK, let's try like that. Uh, let's show that there is a fingerprint range. Yes, yes, definitely it is. And low frequency ramen as well. So I think my guess was right through the coaching we also saw the low frequency peaks of ibuprofen. Very nice. Actually I also have another sample, it's reference sample it's called side it's to test the resolution and actually an advantage of our devices that we capture all the spectrum starting from 25 in West centimeters or so up to 2010 thousand. So basically covering low frequency range fingerprint region and 2002 thousand 2000 how much 100 and think and part of silent teaching. So it goes all the way to silent region and. Let's measure. The how this 1085 in West centimetre peak which is the standard for testing the resolution and then we can check the resolution from the forward half maximum of this P which is around. 4 to 545 let's say wait numbers yeah you see one net here is five and we are slightly. Less than that. Also understanding there is the formula to convert. So yeah, natural broadening of .5, but the actual resolution would go from three to five in verse centimeters, three entire spectral range, which I think it's a very great performance for such a broad range. It's really hard to reach less resolution if you want to cover entire spectral range. Enough for recognition, for identification of materials based on their spectrum and as well As for the analysis of those frequency spectral range. So as we have shown, low frequency spectral range finds its application is in Pharmaceutical industry. In addition to Pharmaceutical industry, there's extremely important for polymer industry where we also look at intermolecular interactions and structure of the material, which is important for optimizing the processes and polymer industry as well. And it finds its applications in semiconductor industry where with low frequency we can. Look at phone modes of different materials, for example, quantum dots, 2D materials such as graphene, molybdenum, disaccharide and so on. Yes, definitely. And to finalize the discussion here slow, please help me in terms of design of this unit. Inside we have interference filters instead of typically used Brad Gray gradient type of filters and those are very expensive and we trying to follow like Nova. We have specially developed interference filters that allow us to go that close and interference filters are way less expensive than brick gratings. That's why device is still affordable allowing us to reach low frequency Roman range. And as a benefit of interference filters they are larger aperture allowed to be used and they which means higher throughput and another reason they are way. Why? Is critical to the different angles of stray light getting through, which means way less stray light on a sensor. You can allow longer exposure times and you still see only the peaks and spectral signatures of your actual sample, not the artifacts of the device driven by the straight line. So there are numeral benefits. Please try it, enjoy and thank you for your attention. Thank you for your attention.

Excited to share our new paper in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces! This study was driven by Andrew Bagnall, with contributions from all of us on the team.
We looked at how ultrathin ALD-grown Al₂O₃ films on ITO behave in electrochemical environments and found that:
-Reliable insulation requires ~4–5 nm thickness.
-Electrolyte choice is critical; acetate buffers preserve films much longer than phosphate.
-A small amount of Al³⁺ ions can significantly extend film lifetime.
Hopefully, these results can serve as practical guidelines for anyone working with ALD barriers in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices.
