Remote-Raman Spectroscopy at Intermediate Ranges Using Low-Power cw Lasers

Abstract: A portable Raman system is described that has been developed for line-of-site spectral measurements of remotely located samples at intermediate ranges. Raman spectra were measured at distances up to 20 m with the use of a 40-mm-diameter collection optic ( f/500) and at 16.7 m with a 22-mm-diameter collection optic ( f/750). In all cases, low-power cw lasers were used with powers ranging from 23 to 100 mW. The system consists of a small f/4 image-corrected spectrograph with a liquid-nitrogen-cooled CCD detector… Show more

“…Raman spectroscopy can also be conducted with a telescope from a stand-off distance. Performance of remote Raman analysis has been explored theoretically by T. Hirschfeld [31], while the potential of measuring Raman spectra of organic materials [32], minerals, and inorganic materials with a small telescope and CW laser have been realized [8,9]. Raman lidars based on high power lasers and large telescopes have been used for investigating gaseous species in the atmosphere (e.g.…”

“…The potential for performing remote Raman analysis of species with visible laser excitation in the atmosphere was explored as early as 1973 (55,56). Bulk and surface materials were explored in the 1990s (57,58). Sharma et al (59) have measured Raman spectra of TATB and HMX at 10 m (see figure 6).…”

“…Whereas RS in vivo cancer detection has been exploited, Raman spectroscopy although is not a novel technology but its application for cancer detection is a new scope  and recent advances in RS have promoted it to a level at which in vivo trials are beginning to emerge [1214] RS application as a histopathologic tool has been considered mostly now that it is often exploited for examination of biopsied tissues since they may contain very small amounts of material to be searched. Accordingly, among the numerous techniques based on Raman, SERS seems to be more capable of achieving this purpose [4,69].…”
