Light Delivery and Collection Device for Measuring Raman Scattering of a Sample

This invention relates to a light delivery and collection device for measuring Raman scattering from a large area of a sample. The light delivery and collection device comprises a reflective cavity made of a material or having a surface coating with high reflectivity to the excitation light and the Raman scattered light. The reflective cavity has two apertures. The first aperture is configured to receive the excitation light which then projects onto the second aperture.

Apparatus and Method for Performing Spectroscopic Analysis of a Subject

This invention relates to a light delivery and collection device for performing spectroscopic analysis of a subject. The light delivery and collection device comprises a reflective cavity with two apertures. The first aperture receives excitation light which then diverges and projects onto the second aperture. The second aperture is applied to the subject such that the reflective cavity substantially forms an enclosure covering an area of the subject.

Apparatus and method for performing spectroscopic analysis of a subject using a frustum shaped reflective cavity

This invention relates to a light delivery and collection device for performing spectroscopic analysis of a subject. The light delivery and collection device comprises a reflective cavity with two apertures. The first aperture receives excitation light which then diverges and projects onto the second aperture. The second aperture is applied to the subject such that the reflective cavity substantially forms an enclosure covering an area of the subject. The excitation light interacts with the covered area of the subject to produce inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from the subject. The reflective cavity reflects the excitation light as well as the inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission that is reflected and/or back-scattered from the subject and redirects it towards the subject. This causes more excitation light to penetrate into the subject hence enabling sub-surface measurement and also improves the collection efficiency of the inelastic scattering or fluorescence emission. The shape of the reflective cavity is optimized to further improve the collection efficiency.

Apparatuses and methods for performing spectroscopic analysis of a subject

This invention relates to a light delivery and collection device for performing spectroscopic analysis of a subject. The light delivery and collection device comprises a reflective cavity with two apertures. The first aperture is configured to receive excitation light which then diverges and projects onto the second aperture. The second aperture is configured to be applied close to the subject such that the reflective cavity substantially forms an enclosure covering a large area of the subject. The excitation light enters and interacts with the covered area of the subject to produce inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from the subject. The reflective cavity has a specular reflective surface with high reflectivity to the excitation light as well as to the inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from the subject. The reflective cavity reflects the excitation light that is reflected and/or back-scattered from the subject and redirects it towards the subject. This causes more excitation light to penetrate into a diffusely scattering subject to produce inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from inside of the subject hence enabling sub-surface measurement. In addition, the reflective cavity reflects the inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission from the subject unless the inelastic scattering and/or fluorescence emission either emits from the first aperture of the reflective cavity to be measured with a spectrometer device, or re-enters the subject at the second aperture. This multi-reflection process improves the collection efficiency of the inelastic scattering or fluorescence emission from the subject.
