Broadband, high-resolution Raman observations from a double-echelle spatial heterodyne Raman spectrometer

A new broadband Raman spectrometer has been developed, to the best of our knowledge, using a double-echelle spatial heterodyne Raman spectrometer (DESHRS). The instrument is constructed by using two echelle gratings. Masks are used to remove the shadow ghosts caused by the different orders of the two echelle gratings. Raman spectra of inorganic solid targets and methanol are given, and Raman shifts of up to 3000 cm -1 are obtained by the DESHRS. The instrument has shown that a broadband coverage and high resolution can be achieved simultaneously to meet the requirements of Raman measurements, covering 3590 cm(-1) with 1.21 cm(-1) spectral resolution.
