A slim, low-cost fibre-optic Raman probe for molecular fingerprinting.
chemSense is a slim and low-cost fibre-optic Raman probe for molecular fingerprinting of chemicals in harsh or hard-to-reach environments, with minimal disruption.
The problem - Size.
In order to perform well, Raman probes require complex optical systems at the distal-end, including filters, lenses and mirrors. As a result, Raman probes are often bulky or rigid and unsuitable for applications that require sensing in the most inaccessible environments, such as down narrow tubing or within enclosed containers.
The problem - Expense.
Often, sensing environments are very harsh, and the Raman probe must be discarded after use. Currently available probes are too expensive for single-use applications.
Our Solution.
We have developed a novel Raman probe system which allows very efficient signal collection and filtering, within a sub-mm package. We have achieved this through technological breakthroughs in laser-based manufacturing.
Our in-house manufacturing method also reduces the need for complex and time-consuming manual assembly of the distal probes – which dramatically reduces the cost to manufacture the Raman probe. Therefore, we can offer the Raman probe at a price point compatible with single-use, without sacrificing performance.
Our probe is 1 mm in diameter, flexible, and compatible with both submersion and direct contact measurement modes.
