The Power of Laser Raman Technology

Cubic Instruments has harnessed the power of Laser Raman spectroscopy to create a suite of gas analyzers that offer real-time, multi-component analysis with unparalleled accuracy. But what exactly is Laser Raman spectroscopy?

Laser Raman spectroscopy is a spectral gas analysis technology based on Raman scattering of gases. It works by directing a high-beam-quality laser at a specific wavelength into a gas chamber. When the laser interacts with the gas molecules, it causes them to scatter light inelastically, producing a unique Raman scattering spectrum. The intensity of the peaks in this spectrum is directly proportional to the concentration of each gas component, allowing for simultaneous and quantitative analysis of multiple gases.

Unlike traditional methods like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, Laser Raman gas analyzers offer several key advantages:

Multi-Gas Measurement: Simultaneously measures multiple gases, including N2, O2, H2, CO, CO2, CH4, C2H6, C3H8, n-C4, i-C4, H2S, NH3, etc.
Real-Time Calculation: Provides real-time calculation of gas quality indexes like calorific value and Wobbe index.
