Optical spectroscopy is a consolidated line of research with several translational opportunities in the industrial and clinical contexts. The reflected and transmitted light spectrum of gaseous, liquid and solid materials offers direct information about the identification and quantification of their components, its morphology, etc. Different fiber-optics and non-fiber optics systems acquire the spectrum depending on the application field. Supervised or blind analyses of the material's spectrum allow the separation of raw material, to know the presence and concentration of dangerous gases, the assessment on the correct recipes of textile dyes or the identification of tumors and cardiovascular pathologies.
