OpenRAMAN is an open-source, 100% free, Raman Spectrometer designed by professional optical engineers to bring Raman spectroscopy to your lab at the lowest cost without sacrificing on performances.
We currently offer the spectrometer in a Starter Edition version designed for teaching Raman spectroscopy and a Performance Edition version which achieves a tested 12 cm-1 resolution at low costs.
All the CAD files and software source code are given under a FSF-recognized open-source license ensuring that the work benefits to the comunity only. No profit is generated by OpenRAMAN and all donations are re-invested in the project.
Event monitoring is a key feature in debugging applications and should be implemented from the start in your C++ programs. It will later help you discovering the origin of errors when deploying your software to Read more…
I recently had the occasion to measure the efficiency of the spectrometer part of the OpenRAMAN setup using a calibrated powermeter (Thorlabs PM100D) at the office and I’m therefore taking the occasion to create a Read more…
One of the main reasons I started working on Raman spectroscopy was the ability to actually observe what was going on during a reaction. Some folk told me one day that chemistry was all about Read more…
I recently shared some results about measuring the kinetics of the ethyl acetate reaction. At the time, I was not entirely satisfied by the results due to the fact that I didn’t know what was Read more…
Two weeks ago I presented a global methodology to quantitatively decompose the spectra of mixtures into their respective components providing that their raw spectra were known (aka measured separately). Today I’m presenting some experimental results Read more…
