Abstract / Description of output

A recently developed CMOS SPAD line sensor is used to separate Raman scattering from background fluorescence without the use of time-gating, relying entirely on the in-pixel time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC). The system delivers both Raman and time-resolved fluorescence decay data and is being developed with the aim of evaluating the suitability of liver tissue for transplant surgery as their high fluorescence emission across a wide spectral range poses particular challenges to commercial Raman systems. The system is benchmarked using samples of pure distilled-water and common organic fluorophores, in comparison with results from a Renishaw InVia spectrometer.
