Spectral Resolution in Raman Spectroscopy

The Spectral Resolution in Raman Spectroscopy

The spectral resolution in Raman spectroscopy dictates the maximum number of spectral peaks that the spectrometer can resolve. The level of spectral resolution required is dependent on the sample and what information the user is aiming to obtain from the Raman spectrum. Five main factors determine the spectral resolution achievable: slit size, diffraction grating, spectrometer focal length, detector, and the excitation laser. Our latest article explores the five main factors determining the spectral resolution achievable...
