Claim 8:
9. An apparatus for providing spectroscopic measurements of samples with favorable signal to noise ratio comprising:
a light source configured to provide a light;
a measurement volume configured to contain a sample to be measured;
an optic device that is configured to direct the light through the measurement volume, wherein the light directed through the measurement volume results in an illumination pattern in the measurement volume, wherein the sample interacts with the illumination pattern resulting in a detectable change in the light as the sample passes through the measurement volume, wherein the detectable change is due to Raman scattering;
only one detector that is configured to detect the detectable change in the light in two modes; and
a processor operably coupled to the detector for determining a characteristic of the sample based on the detectable change in the light and the temporal pattern.
