Abstract: A stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) spectrometer for real-time, high-resolution molecular analysis of gases is based on two hollow-core fibres illuminated by a single high-power, short-pulse laser pump. The first fibre is prefilled with high-concentration target gases. Interaction of each target gas inside the first fibre, with the laser pump, generates Raman signals corresponding to the target gases. The combined beam of the Raman signals and the pump laser beam is directed into the second fibre containing the measured target gases. Interaction of each target gas with the combined beam generates the Stimulated Raman Growth (SRG), i.e., amplification of the Raman signal, which is proportional to the corresponding target gas concentration. A receiver subsystem receives the beam from the second fibre, spectrally separates it to wavelengths corresponding to each target gas, extracts the SRG value corresponding to each target gas and calculates the concentration of each target gas.

Abstract: A small size, robust stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) spectrophotometer system for industrial, medical and field use, exhibiting high SNR, high resolution and very short acquisition times. The architecture of the system allowing for such features comprises three main elements: (1). Use of a narrow range tunable pump laser and an array of fixed wavelength lasers to produce the wavelength differences as required to generate the SRS (Raman) spectrum; (2). Application of analog signal processing, prior to the digital conversion, in order to obtain higher resolution and SNR; (3). Use of relatively inaccurate or unstable laser sources coupled to calibration samples, followed by various calibration methods to compensate for system instabilities, such as wavelength drift, laser inaccuracies, and variations in the optical components/elements of the system.
