Raman scattering is a weak signal. Wasatch Photonics achieves exceptional Raman sensitivity through system-level optical optimization. A Wasatch Photonics Raman system is designed, from the sample objective lens to the detector, for highest efficiency, generating and collecting as many photons as possible from the sample, and losing as few as possible on their way to being turned into an electronic signal.
The f/# quantifies the light-gathering ability of an optical system and captures how efficiently a spectrometer collects light. The f/1.3 optical bench design Wasatch is known for maximizes throughput, making it an excellent choice for Raman applications requiring strong signal and short acquisition times.
High-efficiency holographic gratings are used in the low f/# bench design to maximize light collection and throughput. Grating designs are individually optimized for each spectrometer’s range and laser wavelength, to deliver smooth, and exceptionally high, first-order diffraction efficiency with very low polarization sensitivity across the full spectral range.
Equally important to the bench itself, the Raman probe is matched to the spectrometer optics and equipped with high-performance filter sets, ensuring efficient signal delivery with strong laser rejection.
The combination of the low f/# optical design, high efficiency gratings, and integrated sampling probe provide excellent Raman sensitivity.
