    Abstract: A calibration material for calibrating a Raman spectrometer includes: a reference material configured to emit a broadband spectrum of luminescence light in response to receiving excitation light; and an additional material exhibiting a distinct Raman band within a spectral measurement range of the Raman spectrometer. A method of calibrating at least one Raman spectrometer using the disclosed calibration material includes: determining emission spectra of the calibration material at multiple temperatures; and calibrating each Raman spectrometer based on a calibration spectrum of the calibration material determined by the Raman spectrometer; determining a temperature of the calibration material by Raman thermometry; and adjusting a determination of spectral intensity values of intensity spectra performed by the respective Raman spectrometer based on the calibration spectrum, the temperature of the calibration material during calibration, and the emission spectra of the calibration material.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes an optical head for a spectroscopic device configured to produce a beam of light, a reference signal detector, and a signal detector. A mirror reflects the beam of light from the light source toward a multi-sectioned window having a top side and a bottom side. The bottom side includes an AR coating and the top side has a first section including an AR coating and a second section including a beam splitter with transmittance and reflectance. A first beam path for the beam of light is defined by the mirror, the second section of the multi-sectioned window, and the reference signal detector. A second beam path for the beam of light is defined by the mirror, the second section of the multi-sectioned window, a medium contained in the spectroscopic device, an additional mirror, the first section of the multi-sectioned window, and the signal detector.

    Abstract: A reference material for and a method of calibrating at least one Raman spectrometer are disclosed. The reference material includes quantum dots distributed in a transparent condensed phase material such that light emitted by the reference material in response to receiving excitation light having an excitation wavelength provided by the Raman spectrometer(s) has a predetermined spectral intensity distribution in a spectral measurement range of the Raman spectrometer(s). The method includes designing, manufacturing and providing the reference material, determining an emission spectrum of the reference material, and calibrating each Raman spectrometer by determining a reference spectrum of the reference material and by adjusting a determination of spectral intensity values of intensity spectra performed by the Raman spectrometer based on the reference spectrum and the emission spectrum of the reference material.
