    Abstract: A method for obtaining a polarized orbital angular momentum Raman spectrum using vector vortex beams, includes the steps of emitting a polarized laser light from a laser source. The polarized laser light is passed through a narrow band filter that is then passed through a section of wave plates (quarter or half wave plate) to generate polarized light (linear, circular, radial and azimuthal), then through a q-plate (vortex retarder or spiral plate) to give a vortex structure topology carrying orbital angular momentum with a helical phase. The polarized vector vortex light is then directed to contact a sample, thereby producing a Raman scatter beam. The Raman scatter beam is passed back and collected into a spectrometer, thereby obtaining a Raman scattering spectrum of the sample to investigate the matching of the multipoles of the material and the multipoles of the light. A method for transmission with Multiple expansions of orbital angular momentum in rat cerebellum tissue is also disclosed. In general, we use polarized Laguerre-Gaussian vector vortex beams as a topology multipole model to describe and study the light matter interaction for Raman and transmission using the fact that the optical vortices and material can possess Multipoles denoted as L in form of monopole (L=0), dipole (L=1), quadrupole (L=2), octupole (L=3), hexidecapole (L=4) and higher orders. These multipoles can be involved with the matching up with the symmetry of the moments involved with vibrational states in Raman processes.

    Abstract: The present invention includes a shell, a light emitter, a beam splitter, a convergent lens, an optical filter, a collimation unit, a discrete light detection unit, and a processing unit. The shell includes a sample well to contain a sample. The light emitter generates a detection beam towards the beam splitter, the detection beam is reflected by the beam splitter before being converged by the convergent lens onto the sample, and a Raman scattered beam is scattered from the sample. The Raman scattered beam respectively passes through the convergent lens, the beam splitter, the optical filter, and the collimation unit, allowing the collimation unit to collimate the Raman scattered beam into a collimated beam. The discrete light detection unit generates multiple light intensity signals according to the collimated beam received, and the processing unit generates a detection result according to the light intensity signals to help detect toxins.

    Abstract: A microplate reader simultaneously obtains Raman measurements from samples contained in non-adjacent wells. At least two Raman probes are positioned perpendicularly above or below the microplate to simultaneously acquire Raman spectra data of the non-adjacent liquid samples. Each probe is coupled to a laser and a spectrometer and includes a lens focusing laser light within the sample and collecting light from the sample for the spectrometer. The spectrometer may include a 2D imaging sensor (sCMOS or CCD) to image light from multiple probes simultaneously, spaced from one another to reduce crosstalk. A positioner moves the microplate plate or probes to acquire data from a different subset of non-adjacent samples, and may also vary laser focus within wells during data acquisition. Multiple fluorescence probes may simultaneously acquire fluorescence data from the same samples, or non-adjacent samples. Probes may be fiber-coupled and positioned within a reaction chamber of a liquid handling system.
