    Abstract: Described herein is a sensor (100) for a coincidence radiation detection device (300). The sensor (100) is formed on a single integrated circuit board (112) and comprises a photomultiplier device (102) powered by an input power signal (114) and configured to receive incident optical pulses of photons (116) from an associated scintillator device (118) and, in response, generate an input electrical signal (120) having corresponding electrical pulses. A charge sensitive amplifier (106) is configured to receive the input electrical signal (120) and output an amplified electrical signal (126) in which the electrical pulses are amplified and stretched in time. An edge-peak detector circuit (108) is configured to detect: (i) a fast rising edge of the electrical pulses; (ii) a beginning of a trailing edge of the electrical pulses; and (iii) a pulse peak value of the electrical pulses. A local microcontroller (110) is provided, which includes: a timing circuit (131) configured to generate timestamp values for each of the detected pulses in response to a detected pulse edge and to synchronise the timestamp values with a reference clock signal (133) to generate timestamp values for the pulses; an analog to digital converter (128) configured to record pulse height values of the electrical pulses; and a communications interface (135) configured to communicate the timestamp values and pulse height values to a memory device.

    Abstract: The present application discloses a spectroscopy probe for a Raman spectroscopy system, and methods for preparing filters for the probe. A method for forming an SERS substrate which can optionally be used with the probe is also described. The spectroscopy probe is formed using a double-clad optical fibre probe tip, the double-clad optical fibre (DCF) having a single mode core, multimode inner cladding, and outer cladding, and a micro-filter fixed to the distal end of the optical fibre probe tip. The micro-filter has a short pass or band pass filter configured to align with the DCF core to filter silica Raman background generated by laser excitation in the single mode core, and a long pass filter configured to suppress Rayleigh scattering from the sample while allowing Raman scattered wavelengths to be transmitted through the inner cladding.
