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。我们的合作者雷尼绍公司对这项技术很感兴趣，因为它具有颠覆性的潜力，并可能成为下一代光谱设备的基础。为了确定该仪器的特性并确定其商业可行性，将使用它对与EPSRC目标区域相关的一系列样本进行分析。这些样品将包括二维材料、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，更好地了解底层系统的化学/材料性质，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.
