Olivier BEYSSAC - Raman lab


IMPMC has a long tradition in using Raman spectroscopy and several setups are available in the institute.
I am in charge of the following instruments. Please contact me for further details.




Renishaw InVia spectrometers



The lab is equipped with two Renishaw InVia Raman microspectrometer. One spectrometer is equipped with a 514 nm laser and is optimized for advanced spectroscopy in particular for the case of graphitic carbon as well as basic Raman mapping. The second spectrometer is equipped with 532 nm and 785 nm lasers and is a versatile instrument allowing for high-quality spectroscopy and advanced Raman mapping.







Time-resolved Raman and fluorescence 'SuperCam' instrument



We are team members of the SuperCam instrument of the NASA Mars 2020 mission that will perform LIBS and time-resolved Raman spectroscopy on Mars. We have set a unique homemade time-resolved Raman spectrometer. The microscope configuration is now operationnal and allows for acquisition of high-quality spectra with time resolution down to the sub-nanosecond. In the near future the system will be equipped with a telescope allowing for remote analysis in a Mars chamber of rocks and minerals.
