Time resolved Raman spectrometer using Geiger mode detector technology

拉曼光谱仪是当今工业界和学术界使用的常见的基于激光的化学分析工具。本计画的目的是发展一种新型的时间分辨拉曼光谱仪，以移除拉曼量测中的背景萤光讯号。虽然时间分辨测量是去除荧光信号的既定方法，但目前的系统复杂且昂贵。这种新方法原则上可以在5年内开发出用于安全，制药或生物服务领域的新型手持式仪器。在这项研究中，该团队将专注于生产概念验证台式系统，该系统将针对非荧光和荧光样品进行测试。在该计划期间，将咨询安全制药和生物服务部门的潜在客户，以确保开发针对关键市场。

Raman spectrometers are a common laser based chemical analysing tool used today across both industry and academia. The aim of this project is to a develop a new class of Time resolved Raman spectrometer to remove background fluorescent signals from Raman measurements. Although time resolved measurement is a established method to remove the fluorescent signal current systems are complex and expensive. This novel approach in principle could enable the development of a new hand held instrument for use in the security, pharmaceutical or biological services sector within 5 years. Within this study the team will focus on the production of a proof of concept bench top system, that will be tested against both non fluorescing and fluorescing samples. During the programme potential customer in the security pharmaceutical and biological services sector will be consulted to ensure the development is target at key markets.
