Notice Title

Imaging Spectrometer and Low-light-level Camera

Notice Description

). As part of that study we will need to obtain Raman spectra using 1) an imaging spectrometer and 2) a low-light-level camera . Whenever studying a combustion-related problem it is important to acquire a background image just before the data (e.g. Raman) image is acquired; so that the background can be subtracted. For this reason a double-image camera capable of very fast image acquisition (within 1 microsecond, i.e. using an interline transfer chip architecture) with very fast shutter speeds (down to 500 picoseconds), and capable of detecting very low light levels (i.e. with on-chip gain or an image intensifier), is required. It will also be necessary to mate the camera to the spectrometer; in terms of an optical/mechanical system but also in terms of a software package that allows us to calibrate, scan, acquire, analyse and store Raman spectra.
