Abstract
A technique for reducing stray-light artifacts in Raman spectroscopy is described. The performance of a spatial filter at the output of a single monochromator is reported. The filter reduces both the diffuse background and the scattered-light artifacts encountered in single monochromators while maintaining high luminous throughput. Unlike other wavelength-selective methods for rejecting laser-excitation light (such as use of holographic edge or notch filters), spatial filtering of scattering artifacts may be used with any excitation wavelength. This is an advantage for Raman spectroscopy in the quartz ultraviolet region where holographic filters are not yet available. The enhanced ability to observe low-wavenumber scattering with an optical multichannel detector on a single monochromator is a particular advantage of the method.
