Optical metrology device for multi-wavelength polarized confocal raman spectroscopy
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11874229B2) discloses an optical metrology device for Raman spectroscopy. The device includes a first excitation source generating a light beam with a specific wavelength, a second excitation source generating another light beam with a different wavelength, and a dichroic beam splitter that reflects and transmits these light beams towards a sample. The device further comprises spectrometers to receive and analyze the Raman responses emitted from the sample in response to the different excitation sources. Additionally, the device includes polarizers, analyzers, and a chopper to control the transmission of light beams and trigger the spectrometers accordingly.
The patent also describes a method for Raman spectroscopy using the optical metrology device. The method involves generating and directing light beams towards a sample, receiving Raman responses from the sample, and spectrally measuring these responses using spectrometers. The method includes steps for separating the Raman responses, analyzing them with specific gratings, and utilizing polarizers, analyzers, and a chopper for precise control over the excitation sources and measurements. The method provides a detailed process for conducting Raman spectroscopy efficiently and accurately, showcasing the innovative features of the optical metrology device outlined in the patent.
