Raman spectroscopy enhanced by a back-illuminated sCMOS camera

Raman spectroscopy serves a bevy of needs in numerous application areas. More complicated system designer requests and more demanding operational environments have prompted a need for more capable detectors. In this respect, older Raman spectroscopy systems — such as those using photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) or avalanche photodiodes (APDs) — are at a disadvantage compared to more modern back-illuminated systems.

This article discusses the challenges inherent in working with older detector technologies, dispels some misconceptions associated with Raman spectroscopy detectors, and introduces readers to PCO’s back-illuminated camera solutions.
