Raman spectroscopy allows for the interrogation and identification of vibrational (phonon) states of molecular bonds. As a result, Raman spectroscopy provides an invaluable analytical tool for molecular finger printing as well as monitoring changes in molecular bond structure (e.g. state changes and stresses & strains). In comparison to other vibrational spectroscopy methods, such as FTIR and NIR, Raman has several major advantages. Most notably, traditional Raman spectroscopy requires no sample preparation and is insensitive to aqueous absorption bands. As a result, Raman can be used to measure solids, liquids, and gases directly and through glass, quartz, and plastic containers.

ty LaserCreating Raman Scatter

In Raman spectroscopy, it is essential to utilize a clean, narrow bandwidth laser: the quality of the Raman peaks are directly affected by the sharpness and stability of the excitation light source. Our Raman systems are available with a choice of a 532nm or 785nm excitation laser. Multimode lasers deliver a linewidth of < 0.3nm while single mode lasers deliver a linewidth of < 0.03nm at full power. B&W Tek, Inc.’s 785nm lasers feature our patented CleanLaze® technology, which avoids the phenomenon known as “mode hopping.” This ensures precise and repeatable center wavelength. Our software features laser output power control from 0 - 100% for multimode lasers and 0%, 10%, and 100% for single mode lasers. Single mode lasers based units also feature manual laser power adjustment via neutral density filters at 100%, 79%, 50%, 25%, and 10%. Power adjustment helps prevent laser exposure damage to the sample and allows the user to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and minimize measurement integration time.

Laser lifetime of 10,000 hours ensures quality data for years to come!

n Filter65cm-1 or 175cm-1 to the Rayleigh Line Cut-On

A laser line filter removes all side bands before exciting the sample, ensuring a narrow band excitation is delivered. The light collected from the sample is then filtered through a notch filter. Finally, an ultra-steep long pass filter removes the reflected laser line to allow accurate measurement of Raman peaks as close as 65cm-1, 100cm-1, or 175cm-1 to the Rayleigh line (which is determined by the grade of the filter). All of our fiber optic probes can be upgraded with an E-grade filter, enabling measurement of Raman peaks as close as 65cm-1 to the Rayleigh line.

Our probes facilitate the measurement of gases, liquids, gels, slurries, powders, or solids under both lab and demanding environmental conditions. Constructed with state-of-the-art telecom packaging techniques, the probe has a flexible fiber coupling encased in a durable protective jacketing material. It delivers Rayleigh scatter rejection as high as 10 photons per billion within 65cm-1 or 175cm-1 to the Rayleigh Line, which is determined by the filter used in the probe. All probes are available for either 532nm or 785nm excitation wavelengths; custom probes are available.

Cooling an array detector with a built-in thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is an effective way to reduce dark current and noise to enhance the dynamic range and detection limit. The graphs below show the dark current and noise for an uncooled versus cooled CCD detector at an integration time of 30 seconds. Operating at room temperature, the dark current nearly saturates the uncooled CCD. When the CCD is cooled to 14oC, the dark current is reduced by four times. This allows the spectrometer to operate at long integration times and detect weak optical signals.

vity Detector

Digitization of Photons The Voyage™ features a two dimensional back-thinned CCD that detects the dispersed Raman signal in applications that require a sensitive detector. The detector is TE Cooled to -20oC to maximize dynamic range by reducing dark current. A back-thinned CCD obtains a 90% QE by collecting incoming photons that do not pass through a front illuminated CCD. This achieves maximum photon collection for low-light applications.

Optimized Confocal ConceptTo achieve the highest degree of confocality, B&W Tek, Inc.’s confocal design features two optically conjugated pinholes, one of which is placed in the laser path and the other at the entrance of the spectrometer. This design precisely defines the sample volume from which the light is collected and the amount of out-of-focus light that is blocked. This design offers the best performance without sacrificing efficiency or ease of use.

BAC100 / BAC102 Lab Grade Raman Probes BAC101 Industrial Grade Raman Probe

Our fiber optic lab grade raman probes are compatible with 532nm or 785nm excitation wavelengths. Custom wavelengths are also available. The Raman probe is suitable for laboratory, field, and select process applications/conditions and can sample materials such as liquids, powders, slurries, and solids. The BAC102 hand trigger is located on the probe head for convenient “point and click” acquisition that connects to a compatible Raman system. Standard data collection falls within 175cm-1

to the Rayleigh Line, though all of our fiber optic probes can be upgraded with an E-grade filter, enabling measurement of Raman peaks as close as 65cm-1 to the Rayleigh line. The innovative design uses state-of-the-art telecom packaging techniques and optimized optical lenses. Fiber ends feature FC/PC for excitation and SMA for collection.

BCR100A Cuvette HolderBAC160 Liquid Sample Flow Cell

The BRC100A provides Raman signal up to 3 times clearer than standard cuvette holders using an internal mirror with a three point precision locking mechanism for unmatched reproducibility. The BCR100A can be used with any standard 12.5mm x 12.5mm size cuvette for liquid or powder sampling. High stability, repeatability, and enhanced Raman signal can be expected with the BCR100A.

This sampling device is designed for Raman on-line process monitoring and provides a sampling platform with high throughput and stability when used with a B&W Tek, Inc. lab grade or industrial grade Raman probe. Our flow cells are constructed using a choice of three different cell materials: 316 SS, titanium, or teflon. Window options include quartz or sapphire. A Kalrez® O-ring is used to create a chemically resistant sampling device. Custom cell materials and window construction are also available.

BAC150 Raman Probe Holder BAC151A Video Microscope Sampling System

The BAC150 Raman probe holder is compatible with any B&W Tek, Inc. Raman probe and delivers precision X, Y, and Z axis control with coarse and fine adjustment options. Adjustment of the Z-axis focuses the laser on the desired plane to maximize the Raman signal.

The BAC151A Video Microscope Sampling System is compatible with all B&W Tek Inc. Raman probes and is designed with the highest level of flexibility. one port can be used with two different input laser wavelengths due to the optional dual laser wavelength configuration. The integrated camera facilitates precision Raman sampling through BWSpec™, which allows laser beam tracking and image capturing.
