The micro-Raman facility consists of a 5watt Argon-ionlaser, triplemate spectrometer system (1877E), PMT and liquid nitrogen cooled CCD detectors, all of which interfaced to a computer (System is almost 20 years old). The upgradation of the data acquisition system to the present state of interfacing with Pentium 4 computer, a new CCD controller and PMT high voltage supply have been obtained through the CARE grant.
Technical Specifications:
