Automatic spectral fitting for LIBS and Raman spectra by boosted deconvolution method

Abstract

This study introduces a spectral analysis method known as Boosted Deconvolution Fitting (BDF) to process spectroscopic data. The BDF method enhances spectral resolution and precisely adjusts spectra by integrating boosted deconvolution for determining band profile parameters, and a multicomponent analysis technique for minor adjustments in band intensity. This technique seeks to address the shortcomings of conventional methods like the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA), especially in terms of improving spectral resolution, accurately determining parameters of overlapping bands, and reducing sensitivity to initial conditions. The efficacy of the BDF method is affected by various factors, including the chosen band profile type (Gaussian or Lorentzian), the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the dataset, and the separation and relative intensities of the spectral bands.
