Roberts1,2, Thomas N. Rohrabaugh1, Ryan M. O'Donnell1 1DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL), 2Department of Chemistry, State University of New York at Buffalo This protocol introduces Franck-Condon Lineshape Analyses (FCLSA) of emission spectra and serves as a tutorial for the use of ARL Spectral Fitting software. The open-source software provides an easy and intuitive way to perform advanced analysis of emission spectra including excited state energy calculations, CIE color coordinate determination, and FCLSA.
