HORIBA Scientific and Raman Spectroscopy of Graphene
Graphene's single molecular layers of highly crystalline graphite are extremely strong with high thermal conductance. HORIBA Scientific offers confocal Raman micro-spectroscopy as a reliable technique to distinguish the number of layers and quantify uniformity. The high spectral and spatial resolution of Raman spectroscopy combined with non-destructive testing make it an ideal method for characterizing graphene.

Bruker's new Hyperspectral Imaging System, HI 90 is a remote chemical sensing system which permits detection, identification and quantification of hazardous gas clouds. Using an infrared focal plane array for detection and Fourier transform conversion of high precision interferograms, spectral signatures are available from individual pixels of the HI 90. The performance of HI 90 is highlighted by results up to 1000 times faster than conventional systems. The HI 90 system allows remote operation from distances as long as several kilometers from the area of interest. Other applications include homeland security, fugitive gas detection, industrial safety, atmospheric and environmental research and volcanic gas analysis.
