Abstract:
A new fast visible spectrometer built for the charge exchange diagnostic system of the RFX-mod Reversed Field pinch experiment is described. The optical mounting is of the Littrow type. The spectral resolution is defined by a 3000 grooves/mm, 180x143 mm(2) wide reflection grating, and a focal length of 400 mm. The collimating optics is based on a commercial high quality f/2.8 telephoto lens, so that the input fibers can be vertically stacked without space in between. The detector is a two-dimensional charge coupled device back-illuminated sensor to ensure high quantum efficiency. Thus the spectrometer combines high speed, high spectral resolution, and excellent imaging quality.

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. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
