摘要：A generalization of the Raman scattering (RS) spectrum, the Raman excitation map (REM) is a hyperspectral two-dimensional (2D) data set encoding vibrational spectra, electronic spectra and their coupling. Despite the great potential of REM for optical sensing and characterization with remarkable sensitivity and selectivity, the difficulty of obtaining maps and the length of time required to acquire them has been practically limiting. Here we show, with a simple setup using current optical equipment, that maps can be obtained much more rapidly than before (~ms to ~100 s now vs. ~1000 s to hours before) over a broad excitation range (here ~100 nm is demonstrated, with larger ranges straightforward to obtain), thus taking better advantage of scattering resonance. We obtain maps from different forms of carbon: graphite, graphene, purified single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and chirality enriched SWCNTs. The relative speed and simplicity of the technique make REM a practical and sensitive tool for chemical analysis and materials characterization.
