Abstract: A multiplex coherent Raman spectrometer (10) and spectroscopy method rapidly detects and identifies individual components of a chemical mixture separated by a separation technique, such as gas chromatography. The spectrometer (10) and method accurately identify a variety of compounds because they produce the entire gas phase vibrational Raman spectrum of the unknown gas. This is accomplished by tilting a Raman cell (20) to produce a high-intensity, backward-stimulated, coherent Raman beam of 683 nm, which drives a degenerate optical parametric oscillator (28) to produce a broadband beam of 1100-1700 nm covering a range of more than 3000 wavenumber. This broadband beam is combined with a narrowband beam of 532 nm having a bandwidth of 0.003 wavenumbers and focused into a heated windowless cell (38) that receives gases separated by a gas chromatograph (40). The Raman radiation scattered from these gases is filtered and sent to a monochromator (50) with multichannel detection.

Abstract: The present invention approximates and automatically subtracts continuum backgrounds in laser-induced breakdown (LIBS) and Raman spectra measured by non-gated detectors. Significantly, reference spectra are not used to determine background positioning in the present invention. The present invention approximates a spectral continuum by determining a plurality of minima in the spectral data; splitting the spectral data into a predetermined number of groups N; for each group of spectral data, determining major minima for the group, and calculating an average and a standard deviation for the determined major minima; determining a polynomial function that can be drawn through the major minima of all groups; for each group of spectral data, determining minor minima; calculating an average deviation (nullN) between this polynomial function and the determined minor minima; reducing the number of groups, and repeating this process for the reduced number of groups until a minimum number of groups is reached. Then, the least nullN corresponding to an optimal number of groups Nopt is determined. The spectral data is split into Nopt groups; and a polynomial function that can be drawn through both the major minima and minor minima is determined for Nopt groups. This polynomial function approximates the spectral continuum.

Abstract: A portable spectral imaging microscope includes a probe head coupled via fiber optic cabling to a laser source and to a spectrograph. The probe head is coupled to a position controller that is mounted on a base suitable for positioning adjacent to a sample. The position controller has five degrees of freedom that permits one to adjust the position and direction of the probe head relative to the sample over a wide range of dimensions and angles. The entire probe head can be easily moved in order to precisely align the objective lens to stationary samples for simultaneous viewing and spectral analysis.
