The PI-200 Raman instrument can be used in the laboratory or on-line for process control. The purged enclosure can be  provided for Class I, Div 2 or Class I,  Div 1 environments and is capable of providing either Z- or X- type purging. The Raman instruments incorporate a frequency-stabilized, narrow-linewidth diode laser (Patent No. 6,100,975); a temperature-controlled, optically fast ( f/2.0) fiber-coupled spectrograph (Patent No. 6,028,67); a very low noise Andor CCD camera TE-cooled to < -60 ^OC; and PROspect^TM data acquisition and analysis software. The PROspect^TM software can be combined with GRAMS/AI8.0* for real-time chemometrics and process control applications. This Raman instrument design offers very high signal levels while retaining high resolution (~ 4 to 5 cm^-1 depending upon excitation wavelength). Patented optical design allows full (3.3 mm) height coverage of the 1024 x 128 pixel CCD chip and wide fiber array input (17 X 100 micron diameter fibers) while retaining a straight fiber array image and good resolution. The system includes a fiber-coupled probe with laser band-pass and elastic light rejection (~10^-8) filtering. With the 1200 grooves/mm grating, the spectral coverage is ~ 2100 cm^-1 at 785 nm excitation. The grating is adjustable to allow use with excitation from 670 to 860 nm. The spectra can be exported in SPC or ASCII formats.
