Abstract:
A method based on Fourier transform to compensate the non-linear attenuation of optical fiber used as a probe in a spectrum-collecting system was proposed. First the output electric currents of photoelectric tube with and without fiber were transformed to the frequency field. So an adjustable function in frequency field was obtained, and the adjustable function was transformed to the spectrum field, so the final adjustable function was obtained. A photoelectric system was designed for testing. With visible light, this method can make the error rate of fiber transmission as low as less than 1.54%. It is proved that the method is fit for adjusting some optical fiber spectrum attenuation.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light.
