16 Sept 2014

This application note shows that Raman spectroscopy, combined with intelligent chemometric software, is ideally suited to the demands of the plastics industry, by providing a simple, non-destructive and rapid tool for the analysis of different polymers and additives.

i-Raman ‒ High Resolution TE Cooled Raman Spectrometer

B&W Tek, Inc.

The i-Raman® is unique for its high resolution combined with field-portability, with performance comparable to large bench-top Raman systems and weighing less than 7lbs The i-Raman® is equipped with B&W Tek’s patented CleanLaze® technology for exceptional laser stabilization and narrow linewidth. Other features include a spectral resolution as fine as 3cm-1, wide Raman shift coverage up to 4000cm-1, and a TE cooled 2048 pixel CCD array. With a convenient fiber optic interface, it can collect data to within 65cm-1 of the Rayleigh Line.It is unique for its high resolution combined with field-portability, with performance comparable to large bench-top Raman systems and weighing less than 7 lbs. The system’s small footprint, lightweight design, and low power consumption provides research grade Raman capabilities anywhere!The i-Raman offers 532nm, 785nm, and 830nm excitation wavelength options. All i-Raman systems feature deep TE Cooling, allowing the maximum effective integration to be 4 minutes. This makes the i-Raman ideal for demanding applications involving low concentrations and weak Raman scatterers.i-Raman ‒ High Resolution TE Cooled Raman Spectrometer Features: Patented CleanLaze® Technology for Laser Stabilization 175cm-1 of the Rayleigh Line (65cm-1 Option Available) Fiber Optic Interface for Convenient Sampling Spectral Resolution of 3cm-1 Wide Raman Shift Coverage TE Cooled 2048 Pixel Array
