Advanced Raman gas sensing using Microstructered Fibres

Abstract
In recent years Raman analysis of samples has become of increasing interest to a variety of sectors. For gas
formulations in particular, Raman observation offers greater flexibility and near real time analysis. However the
most common implementations of this technique often lack the sensitivity of e.g. Gas Chromatographs or IR
absorption spectroscopy, limiting the appeal to industrial applications. In this study we will look to advance the
development of Microstructured Optical Fibres to produce a new sensor in which high sensitivity gas phase
Raman measurements can be made. This approach will lead to the development of a new compact gas phase
Raman sensor with greatly improved sensitivity compared to classical Raman instruments.ject Summary
