Abstract: There is described a method for performing a Raman spectroscopy measurement on a sample. The method generally has sequentially illuminating an area of said sample with first and second excitation signals, said first excitation signal being slightly spectrally spaced-apart from said second excitation signal, resulting in said area sequentially emitting first and second emission signals; upon receiving said first emission signal, measuring a first intensity value being indicative of optical intensity of said first emission signal within at least a detection band; upon receiving said second emission signal, measuring a second intensity value being indicative of optical intensity of said second emission signal within said detection band; and performing said Raman spectroscopy measurement by comparing said first intensity value to said second intensity value.

Abstract: A system and method for imaging a sample using Raman spectrometry. Optical fibers having opposite first ends and second ends are arranged with the first ends and second ends in respective two-dimensional arrays. The two-dimensional arrays maintain relative positions of the optical fibers to one another from the first ends to the second ends in a way that the first end of each optical fibers of the bundle can simultaneously collect a corresponding Raman signal portion scattered from specific spatial coordinates of the area of the sample. The so-collected Raman signal portions are propagated towards the corresponding second end, from which are outputted and detected simultaneously using an array of detectors.
