  • Systems and methods for Raman spectroscopy
    Patent number: 11885684
    Abstract: A method of performing Raman spectroscopy can include guiding a Raman pump beam with an optical fiber, where the Raman pump beam inducing fluorescence in the optical fiber. The beam and the fluorescence are coupled to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) via the fiber. The beam is used to excite a sample in optical communication with the PIC via evanescent coupling and induces Raman scattering in the sample. The Raman scattering is collected via the PIC, and the Raman pump beam as well as the fluorescence is filtered out from the Raman scattering via the PIC.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 28, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
