532nm and 785nm Optical Filter for Raman spectroscopy instruments

Nov,04,2023

In 1928, Indian scientist Raman discovered the Raman effect for the first time in a light scattering experiment using a mercury lamp irradiating liquid benzene.

Limited by the mercury lamp as a monochromatic light source, the Raman scattering effect is very weak, and the research field is limited to the vibration spectrum of chemical molecules. It was not until 1960 that the American physicist Maiman invented the ruby laser, which gradually replaced the mercury lamp as a monochromatic light source. The field of Raman spectroscopy research expanded to include solids, liquids, gases and other forms of matter. However, the intensity of laser is many orders of magnitude higher than that of Raman scattered light. In order to effectively separate the laser from Raman scattered light, it is necessary to suppress the laser through a double or even triple monochromator. The overall structure of the system is bulky.

In 1990, Puppels et al. first proposed to use a set of parallel Raman notch filters to replace part of the cascade monochromator, reducing the laser intensity by 108~109W/mm², and the detected Raman signal intensity was enhanced to 4 times. Positive and negative Stokes detection can be achieved simultaneously. This not only improves the detection accuracy of the instrument, but also simplifies the overall structure.

With the sharp increase in market demand for detection technology that is non-destructive, real-time, fast, rich in information, and high in analysis efficiency, Raman detection technology has developed rapidly and is widely used in fields such as biomedicine, chemical analysis, environmental monitoring, criminal investigation, and archaeological research. Has been widely used.

At the same time, in order to effectively suppress stray light in the detection system, output high-quality Raman signals, and improve the detection accuracy of the instrument, optical thin film devices are also more diverse and functional. We have developed and produced products that can meet the needs of different Raman detection instruments. Interference filters (referred to as "Raman filters") required by application scenarios.

At present, representative foreign manufacturers include Semrock, Chroma, Iridian, etc.

Recently, Omeda has developed Raman filters with high transmittance, high aperture and cut-off depth.
