Abstract
The design and construction of a new UV resonance Raman spectrometer continuously tunable between 217–750 nm are described. The excitation source is based on a YAG laser which is frequency doubled or tripled to pump a dye laser. UV light is generated by nonlinear frequency doubling and mixing of the dye laser output or doubled output with the 1.06‐μm YAG fundamental. The detection system utilizes an intensified Reticon multichannel array. Commercially available monochromators are modified to make them useful for UV resonance Raman spectroscopy. Some sampling methodologies important for UV resonance Raman measurements are described. Examples of the sensitivity of UV resonance Raman spectroscopy are illustrated.Keywords
