Abstract
The masking of Raman transitions by intense fluorescence has led to many attempts to reduce this fluorescence contribution. Amongst the methods available,those which are based on the temporal discrimination of the Raman and fluorescence photons appear to have the most general applicability [1–4]. We have investigated two different experimental approaches involving different detectors. The first utilises a gated diode array (DAD), which is switched on and off synchronously with the laser pulses, and the second a photomultiplier tube (PMT). In the latter case,it is the output of the PMT which is electronically gated to select the appropriate time-regime.
