Sensitivity and resolution are key parameters for spectrometers used in Raman spectroscopy. Since Raman signals are weak, a highly sensitive spectrometer with high throughput is crucial. Resolution on the other hand determines the ability to separate Raman peaks. Higher resolution, however, often comes at the cost of lower sensitivity. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a resolution only slightly higher than the wavenumber separation between closely spaced peaks in the spectra.
Discover the full potential of Raman Spectroscopy with Ibsen Photonics, where sensitivity and resolution matters. We offer the world’s best sensitivity, enabled by our in-house Raman manufactured transmission gratings. They offer the highest broadband diffraction efficiency available on the market, enabling high sensitivity and high resolution in compact, cost effective spectrometer designs.
How to select the right spectrometer resolution?
Choosing the right spectrometer resolution is not just about achieving the highest possible performance – it’s about matching the resolution to your specific application. If the resolution is too low, you lose critical details. If it is too high, you sacrifice signal strength without gaining any additional benefits.
So, how do you find the perfect balance? It all depends on the type of spectrum you want to measure. In our latest white paper, we explain how to select the right resolution for various common applications.
