Advances in infrared spectrometers and the theory that PAHs are responsible for the infrared emission bands have led to a wealth of new information in recent years. High quality data have shown many weak emission bands which are diagnostic of the material producing the bands. While correlations of the strengths of the narrow bands indicate that a single material can account for all of the narrow bands, independent spatial behavior of the narrow and broad components show that they have different origins. Predictions of the behavior of the spectra based on laboratory data have been confirmed observationally, strengthening the theory that PAH molecules are the origin of the infrared emission bands.
