title: Band shape determination with robust estimator based on continuous wavelet transform.
abstract: The paper focuses on an alternative approach that allows one to identify overlapping band shapes with the help of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT). We show that less number of special points for determining a band shape is required unlike the fractional derivative spectrometry method [S.S. Kharintsev, M.Kh. Salakhov, Spectrochim. Acta Part A, 60 (2004) 2125]. Besides, the CWT-based derivative spectrometry can be successfully utilized in a case of complex spectra corrupted with a white and/or high-frequency noise. The power of this method is illustrated on model examples and experimental spectra of 1,2-diphenylethane in crystalline and melted phase.
