Deep UV Solutions to Detect Identify and Quantify

Deep UV Solutions to Detect, Identify and Quantify Products Applications Technology About Contact Benefits of Photon Systems Deep UV Technology • Reagentless, Non-Contact and No Sample Prep: Since energetic UV photons create native fluorescence and/or Raman emission, no reagents are required. No swabs, no dyes, no probes, no consumables. Which means you save time and money. • Fluorescence-Free Raman: When excited between 220 and 250 nm, Raman emission occurs within a fluorescence-free region of the spectrum, eliminating obscuration of weak Raman signals by fluorescence from the target or surrounding materials. • Simultaneous Raman and Fluorescence Detection: When excited in the deep UV, Raman and fluorescence emission occupy separate spectral regions. Detection can be done simultaneously, providing an orthogonal set of information, which means better sensitivity and specificity. • Better Detectability: Rayleigh law and resonance effects increase Raman signal strength and sensitivity for detection. The deep UV Raman cross section is over 1000 X greater than visible or IR Raman cross sections. • Penetration Depth: In the deep UV, the penetration depth into the target is short, providing spatial/spectral separation of the target material from its background or substrate. • Solar Blind: Detection in the deep UV eliminates ambient light background and enables daylight detection for stand off applications. • Cost Effective: Photon Systems deep UV lasers cost 10 to 50 times less and use far less power than other deep UV laser sources, which means systems based on this technology are now practical. • Rugged and Reliable: The Photon Systems laser has been selected by NASA for the Mars 2020 Rover as part of the Sherlock Detector. Now you can employ space qualified deep UV technology at a down to Earth price.
