Luminescence Emission Spectra Deconvolution
Description
Luminescence spectra deconvolution on RLum.Data.Spectrum and matrix objects
on an energy scale. The function is optimised for emission spectra typically
obtained in the context of TL, OSL and RF measurements detected between 200 and 1000 nm.
The function is not prepared to deconvolve TL curves (counts against temperature;
no wavelength scale). If you are interested in such analysis, please check, e.g.,
the package 'tgcd'.
Usage
fit_EmissionSpectra(
object,
frame = NULL,
n_components = NULL,
start_parameters = NULL,
sub_negative = 0,
input_scale = NULL,
method_control = list(),
verbose = TRUE,
plot = TRUE,
...
)
Arguments
object |
RLum.Data.Spectrum, matrix (required): input object. Please note that an energy spectrum is expected |
frame |
numeric (optional): defines the frame to be analysed |
n_components |
numeric (optional): allows a number of the aimed number of components. However, it defines rather a maximum than than a minimum. Can be combined with other parameters. |
start_parameters |
numeric (optional): allows to provide own start parameters for a semi-automated procedure. Parameters need to be provided in eV. Every value provided replaces a value from the automated peak finding algorithm (in ascending order). |
sub_negative |
numeric (with default): substitute negative values in the input object
by the number provided here (default: |
input_scale |
character (optional): defines whether your x-values define wavelength or
energy values. For the analysis an energy scale is expected, allowed values are |
method_control |
list (optional): options to control the fit method, see details |
verbose |
logical (with default): enable/disable verbose mode |
plot |
logical (with default): enable/disable plot output |
... |
further arguments to be passed to control the plot output

Used equation
The emission spectra (on an energy scale) can be best described as the sum of multiple Gaussian components:
'
y = \Sigma Ci * 1/(\sigma_{i} * \sqrt(2 * \pi)) * exp(-1/2 * ((x - \mu_{i})/\sigma_{i}))^2)
with the parameters \sigma (peak width) and \mu (peak centre) and C
(scaling factor).
Start parameter estimation and fitting algorithm
The spectrum deconvolution consists of the following steps:
Peak finding
Start parameter estimation
Fitting via minpack.lm::nls.lm
The peak finding is realised by an approach (re-)suggested by Petr Pikal via the R-help
mailing list (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2005-November/thread.html) in November 2005.
This goes back to even earlier discussion in 2001 based on Prof Brian Ripley's idea.
It smartly uses the functions stats::embed and max.col to identify peaks positions.
For the use in this context, the algorithm has been further modified to scale on the
input data resolution (cf. source code).
The start parameter estimation uses random sampling from a range of meaningful parameters
and repeats the fitting until 1000 successful fits have been produced or the set max.runs value
is exceeded.
Currently the best fit is the one with the lowest number for squared residuals, but
other parameters are returned as well. If a series of curves needs to be analysed,
it is recommended to make few trial runs, then fix the number of components and
run at least 10,000 iterations (parameter method_control = list(max.runs = 10000)).
Supported method_control settings
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
max.runs | integer | 10000 | maximum allowed search iterations, if exceed the searching stops |
graining | numeric | 15 | gives control over how coarse or fine the spectrum is split into search intervals for the peak finding algorithm |
norm | logical | TRUE | normalises data to the highest count value before fitting |
trace | logical | FALSE | enables/disables the tracing of the minimisation routine |

[ TERMINAL OUTPUT ]
———————————
The terminal output provides brief information on the
deconvolution process and the obtained results.
Terminal output is only shown of the argument verbose = TRUE.
—————————
[ PLOT OUTPUT ]
—————————
The function returns a plot showing the raw signal with the detected components. If the fitting failed, a basic plot is returned showing the raw data and indicating the peaks detected for the start parameter estimation. The grey band in the residual plot indicates the 10% deviation from 0 (means no residual).
