Raman Spectroscopy

The Institute of Materials Processing has a Raman spectrometer, Jobin-Yvon U1000 with optical microscope.

The Ramanor U1000 double additive monochromator, has been designed for maximum versatility and adaptability to advancing detector technology. It uses Jobin-Yvon's standard and blazed holographic plane gratings to ensure optimal throughput in any spectral region.

• Macro and micro Raman applications, which require the highest resolution and rejection of stray light, in the UV-visible range, with either single channel or CCD multichannel detection.
• Raman applications in the near infrared range (1-1.7 microns) with IR photocells.
• Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) with PMT or CCD detection.
• Photoluminescence with PMT (visible range) and infrared photocells (NIR range).

• Double additive monochromator
• Asymmetrical Czerny-Turner configuration
• Interchangeable gratings for UV, visible, and IR
• Choice of sine or cosecant drive
• Horizontal axis of grating rotation
• 3 stages/4 horizontal slits for very low stray light level
