Abstract:
An optical chemical analyser comprises a source of a first amount of radiation ( 46 ), an optics module configured to direct the first amount of radiation such that it is incident on or passes through a target ( 14 ) at a target location, the optics module further being configured to receive a second amount of Raman scattered radiation from the target and direct the second amount of radiation ( 206 ) to a Spatial Interference Fourier Transform (SIFT) module, the SIFT module including a first dispersive element ( 216 ) and a second dispersive element ( 218 ), the SIFT module being configured such that a portion of the second amount of radiation is received by the first dispersive element and interferes with a portion of the second amount of radiation received by the second dispersive element to form an interference pattern; the SIFT module further comprising a detector ( 48 ) configured to capture an image of at least a portion of the interference pattern and produce a detector signal ( 226 ) based on the captured image; and a processor configured to receive the detector signal from the detector and perform a Fourier transform on the detector signal to thereby obtain a frequency spectrum of the second amount of radiation.

Claim (Index 11):
An optical chemical analyser according to  claim 10 , wherein the first amount of radiation is substantially polychromatic; and\n wherein the SIFT module further comprises a third dispersive element and a fourth dispersive element, the SIFT module being configured such that a portion of the first amount of radiation is received by the third dispersive element and interferes with a portion of the first amount of radiation received by the fourth dispersive element to form a second interference pattern; the SIFT module further comprising a second detector configured to capture an image of at least a portion of the second interference pattern and produce a second detector signal based on the image captured by the second detector; and a processor configured to receive the second detector signal from the second detector and perform a Fourier transform on the second detector signal to thereby obtain a frequency spectrum of the first amount of radiation, the processor further being configured to compare the frequency spectrum of the second amount of radiation to frequency spectrum of the first amount of radiation in order to produce an absorption spectrum.
