Advanced Raman Spectroscopy & Optical Sensing Solutions

A: Raman spectroscopy is a technique usually used to determine vibrational frequencies of molecules so they may be identified. It can also be used to observe rotational and other low-frequency modes of systems. The technique relies on the inelastic scattering of photons when a sample is illuminated by a laser beam. You can find out more by watching our short video, here.

A: Like most pieces of industrial equipment, lasers can be dangerous if used in a dangerous manner. The use of lasers can be very safe if the correct design and expertise are applied. This is what ISI can provide, ensuring any laser-based solutions we supply do not present a danger to employees, equipment or the public. We have many years of experience designing laser-based systems for applications in a variety of conditions including high-temperature, high-pressure, radiative and potentially explosive.

A: LIDAR stands for LIght Detection And Ranging. It is sometimes known as LADAR (LAser Detection and Ranging). In essence, LIDARs are comprised of a laser, a scanner, and a specialised GPS receiver and can be used for making remote measurements of variable distances by using light pulses to generate 3-dimensional information of a target area. LIDAR is a highly accurate and powerful tool for 3D mapping or modelling of unknown or hard to reach areas.
