Stimulated Raman spectroscopy: instrumentation development to provide photonic analysis for environmental science

该项目的目的是建立和评估下一代受激拉曼光谱仪器。我们的合作伙伴雷尼绍（Renishaw plc）对这项技术很感兴趣，因为它具有颠覆性的潜力，可能成为下一代光谱设备的基础。为了表征该仪器并确定其商业可行性，它将用于对EPSRC目标区域相关的一系列样品进行分析。这些将包括二维材料，化学系统，生物物理学，特别是环境科学应用领域的样品。在所有这些情况下，新的受激拉曼光谱仪将作为一种工具，以更好地了解基础系统的化学/材料特性，从而实现更深层次的科学理解、创新和优化。

The aim of this project is to build and evaluate a next generation stimulated Raman spectroscopy instrument. This technology is of interest to our collaborators Renishaw plc as it has potential to be disruptive and could be a basis for the next generation of spectroscopy equipment. To characterise this instrument and determine its commercial viability, it will be used to conduct analysis on a range of samples relevant to EPSRC target areas. These will include samples in two-dimensional materials, chemical systems, bio-physics and especially environmental science application areas. In all these cases, the new stimulated Raman spectrometer will serve as a tool to better understand the chemistry/material properties of the underlying systems allowing deeper scientific understanding, innovation and optimisation.
