Raman spectral data collected with high-resolution laboratory spectrometers are processed into a format suitable for importing as a user library on a 1064 nm DeltaNu first generation, field-deployable spectrometer prototype. The two laboratory systems used are a 1064 nm Bruker Fourier transform (FT)-Raman spectrometer and a 785 nm Kaiser dispersive spectrometer. The steps taken to adapt for device-dependent spectral resolution, wavenumber shifts between instruments, and relative intensity…

Demonstrated Wavelength Portability of Raman Reference Data for Explosives and Chemical Detection
As Raman spectroscopy continues to evolve, questions arise as to the portability of Raman data: dispersive versus Fourier transform, wavelength calibration, intensity calibration, and in particular…
Eliminating Non-linear Raman Shift Displacement Between Spectrometers via Moving Window Fast Fourier Transform Cross-Correlation
TLDR
A moving window fast Fourier transform cross-correlation method is developed to correct non-linear shifts for synchronization of spectra obtained from different Raman instruments, enhancing spectral compatibility and consistency through a simple and flexible moving window procedure.
Automatic standardization method for Raman spectrometers with applications to pharmaceuticals
An effective and practical method, based on automatic peak detection, Lorentzian fitting, and polynomial fitting, is developed for aligning spectra, which can significantly reduce or eliminate…
Twice-Modulated Light in Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometers from Reflective Samples: Avoiding Distorted Intensity Values
We document an artifact associated with the back reflection from samples or sampling accessories in Fourier transform spectrometers. Samples oriented normal to the incoming modulated beam can reflect…
Raman spectroscopy for analysis of thorium compounds
The thorium fuel cycle is an alternative to the uranium fuel cycle in that when 232Th is irradiated with neutrons it is converted to 233U, another fissile isotope. There are several chemical forms of…
Intensity-Value Corrections for Integrating Sphere Measurements of Solid Samples Measured behind Glass
TLDR
It is demonstrated that glass (fused quartz in this case) leads to artifacts in the reflectance values, and empirical correction factors were implemented into post-processing software to redress the artifact for hemispherical and diffuse reflectance data across the 300–2300 nm range.
