Advances in Time-resolved Raman Spectroscopy for in Situ Characterization of Minerals and Organics
Introduction: We present recent developments in instrumentation for in situ planetary time-resolved Raman spectroscopy, leading to improved performance and identification of both minerals and organics. The Time-Resolved Raman Instrument shown in Figure 1 builds on the widely used 532 nm (green) laser Raman technique, but uses time resolution to detect Raman spectral signatures while eliminating...
متن کاملTime-resolved Raman spectroscopy for in situ planetary mineralogy.
Planetary mineralogy can be revealed through a variety of remote sensing and in situ investigations that precede any plans for eventual sample return. We briefly review those techniques and focus on the capabilities for on-surface in situ examination of Mars, Venus, the Moon, asteroids, and other bodies. Over the past decade, Raman spectroscopy has continued to develop as a prime candidate for ...
متن کاملMiniaturized time-resolved Raman spectrometer for planetary science based on a fast single photon avalanche diode detector array.
We present recent developments in time-resolved Raman spectroscopy instrumentation and measurement techniques for in situ planetary surface exploration, leading to improved performance and identification of minerals and organics. The time-resolved Raman spectrometer uses a 532 nm pulsed microchip laser source synchronized with a single photon avalanche diode array to achieve sub-nanosecond time...
متن کاملRemote Detection of Minerals and Biomarkers Using Rallf: a Compact Raman, Atmospheric Lidar, Libs and Fluorescence Sensor
Overview: University of Hawaii (UH) in collaboration with NASA Langley Research Center has developed a compact portable sensor platform capable of performing remote Raman, LIBS, Fluorescence and lidar measurements from stand-off distances. The system using a 2.5 inch diameter telescope is capable of measuring Raman, LIBS, and fluorescence spectra of a mineral target from a distance of several m...
متن کاملOn-Surface Planetary Mineralogy Using Time Resolved Raman and Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Introduction: Laser Raman spectroscopy offers the exciting opportunity to interrogate rocks in their natural geological context, preserving the mineral constituents along with their textural and morphological information (Figure 1). Microscopic Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive means of generating two dimensional maps of mineralogy on the order of grain sizes. Because of its versatility, R...
