software tools for optical spectroscopy

filled in empty cells, to the best of my knowledge, most software tools are vendor-lock-in situations, one for each instrument vendor, I added two open tools I found and two literature situation representing examples of data-processing, these examples are not necessarily representative of the situation in the field, chris said he will continue to collect and send to me
