Optical Feedback for Sensitivity Enhancement in Direct Raman Detection of Liquids by Miao Liu, Yunyun Mu, Jingyun Hu, Jiajun Li, Xinping Zhang

“…However, for the commonly employed one-pass excitation and back-scattering detection scheme, a large portion of both the excitation laser energy and the Raman-scattering light energy is wasted without efficient reuse or collection. In this consideration, we demonstrate a broadband optical feedback scheme by a curved high-reflection mirror for both the excitation and the Raman-scattering light, so that the excitation and the forward-propagating Raman signal can be back-reflected and collected with a high efficiency. …”
