RP1000 Raman Probe for Stand-Off Measurements
Standard RP1000 Raman Probe
Our Stand-Off Raman probe can make measurements from distances of up to 3 meters from the target.
Our Stand-Off Raman probes use the highest quality optical filters to suppress unwanted laser light and have focal lengths from 50 mm up to 3 m.
Product Specifications
RP1000 Raman Probe for Stand-Off Measurements
These probes are designed to work seamlessly with the ISI range of HES spectrometers.
Noted for their highest throughput characteristics (100-fold increase in throughput over current conventional systems). This allows for maximum light collection even at a distance. Our Stand-Off Raman probes can be fitted to a robotic arm for deployment by ROV, making them ideal for remote sensing in hazardous environments.
Our Raman probe is currently being used in the nuclear decommissioning sector to remove the human element from detecting substances in gloveboxes.

| Mass | ~ 1.8 kg |
The fibre-coupled RP1000 Raman probe is designed to operate with the HES2000 spatial heterodyne Raman spectrometer. Operating at a 1000 mm standoff distance from the 100mm diameter window, the probe will facilitate non-destructive interrogation of target samples to capture material-specific Raman spectra.
Applications include:
- Quality control during industrial manufacturing processes
- Process monitoring through inspection ports
- Material characterisation in hazardous locations
- Composition monitoring in Ceramics
- Deployment in nuclear environments
- Robotic-deployed area characterisation/material identification
