Abstract:There are many different factors to consider when determining the appropriate excitation laser source for continuous wave Raman experiments. The laser characteristics of interest for designing a Raman system fall into two categories. The first category includes parameters associated with the laser output, such as wavelength, linewidth, output power, polarization, and beam quality. The second category includes physical characteristics of the laser system, such as size, reliability, and power consumption. The di… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
