Abstract:
A method, apparatus and system for profiling a material composition of a volume is disclosed. A beam source directs a pulsed beam of electromagnetic energy from into the volume. A plurality of backscattered beams is received at a detector. The plurality of backscattered beams is generated from a plurality of depths within the volume in response to interactions of the directed pulsed beam at the plurality of depths. A processor performs range gating of the plurality of backscattered beams to obtain a depth profile of backscattered intensity within the volume and estimates a material composition at different depths of the volume from the generated depth profile.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are Raman spectrographic systems and methods of assembling Raman spectrographic systems. The Raman spectrographic system includes a light source to emit ultraviolet incident light into a waveguide, and an interaction region traversed by the waveguide and that holds a sample to be identified. A spectrometer detects Raman scatter from an output light in the waveguide emerging from the interaction region following interaction between the incident light and the sample and output a spectral response. The spectrometer includes an array of detectors. Each detector of the array of detectors is a silicon carbide (SiC) detector to obtain information that includes an intensity corresponding with a wavelength of the Raman scatter. A controller identifies the sample based on the spectral response from the array of detectors.
