The Institute of Spectroscopy Russian Academy of Sciences (ISAN) (in some sources the abbreviation used is ISAS, IS RAS) is a Russian research institution located in Troitsk, Moscow

At present (2010) ISAN has eight research departments, which activity covers practically all kinds of spectroscopies: atomic, molecular, plasma, gases, liquids, condensed matter, amorphous solids, glasses, crystals, nanostructures, polymers, biological systems. The available equipment allows for measurements in a broad spectral range; with ultimate spectral, spatial and temporal resolutions; in a broad range of temperatures and measurement times; with application of external fields.

ISAN educational activity includes a program for Diploma Students, Ph.D. and Doctorals for science, R&D and industry. The "Chair of Nanooptics and Spectroscopy" of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and the "Chair of Quantum Optics and Photonics" at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) are based at ISAN.

Institute of Spectroscopy is co-founder of EU Virtual Institute of Nano-Films
