Raman scattering produces a faint signal that requires high-performance optics with sharper edges and wider, flatter transmission bands to effectively isolate the desired signal. Chroma Raman filters provide the optimal solution for users who require enhanced transmission, fast transitions, and effective blocking to prevent interference from unwanted photons.
Chroma's Raman optics offer remarkably sharp transition slopes from transmission to blocking and/or reflection, ensure highly accurate passbands, and achieve exceptionally high out-of-band blocking to deliver the best possible signal-to-noise ratios (SNR).
Chroma's filter sets consist of a narrowband laser clean-up filter coordinated with a laser dichroic mirror, along with a longpass barrier/emission filter, all featuring distinct spectral slopes. Collectively, these optical components facilitate the identification of the slightest Raman signals.
