Abstract:
1. A spectroscopic system comprising: a light source adapted to provide a beam of illumination; an optical system adapted to provide the beam of illumination to a sample and receive a spectroscopy signal from the sample and direct the spectroscopy signal to at least one single channel detector, wherein the optical system comprises an adjustable dispersing element for directing one or more spectral features of the spectroscopy signal to the at least one single channel detector; a calibration detector adapted to determine a set point of the adjustable dispersing element, wherein a position of the adjustable dispersing element is adjusted from the set point to target the one or more spectral features onto the at least one single channel detector; and a source synchronization component adapted to synchronize an operation of the light source and the at least one single channel detector in which the light source is adapted to be modulated at a particular frequency and the detector is adapted to detect and demodulate the spectroscopy signal at the particular frequency.
