  • Dual wavelength Raman probe with spectral concatenation of data
    Patent number: 10359313
    Abstract: A compact dual-wavelength Raman probe using two laser sources each providing Raman excitation light at a different wavelength is disclosed causing Raman scattering in a fingerprint region associated with one excitation wavelength and causing Raman scattering in a stretch region, which are detected by the same detector array.

  • Compact Raman Probe Integrated with Wavelength Stabilized Diode Laser Source
    Publication number: 20150346102
    Abstract: A compact Raman probe integrated with a wavelength-stabilized laser source is disclosed. The output beam of the laser source has an elongated cross-section that is focused onto a target of interest. Raman and Rayleigh scattered light is collected, collimated, and filtered by free-space optics to form a beam that is coupled to the input of a multimode optical fiber having an elongated core that is aligned to edge slits of an optical spectrometer.
