Fibre coupled near photon counting Raman Spectrometer development for operation in physically challenging industrial enviroments

该项目旨在开发一种新型光纤耦合光谱仪，用于在具有挑战性的工业环境中对化学物质进行远程拉曼测量。这种创新的设计提供了比传统方法更大的延展性和灵敏度。该项目将通过计算机模型和台式演示器来研究拟议技术的可行性。这种新颖的设计允许使用大孔径光纤，这意味着该设备可以在以前无法进入的、具有物理挑战性的环境中进行拉曼测量。这将使许多工业能够更准确地监测过程污染，从而有助于改善工业工厂的过程和效率。

This project seeks to develop a new class of fibre coupled spectrometer targeted at remote Raman measurement of chemical species in challenging industrial environments. This innovative design offers much greater etendue, and subsequently sensitivity, than more traditional methods that have been employed. The project will invesitigate the feasibility of the proposed technology by means of a computer model and benchtop demonstrator. The novel design allows large aperture fibres to be used, which means the device could make Raman measurements in previously inaccessible, physically challenging environments. This will enable many industries to more accurately monitor process contaminations which will, in turn, help to improve processes and efficiency of industrial plants.
