Method and apparatus for spectral modulation compensation

摘要

The embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to identifying and removing background noise in spectroscopic imaging of a sample. Because white-light has essentially constant intensity at every wavelength, background noise caused by white light can be identified and removed from spectroscopic measurements including Raman spectroscopy. Thus, once the Raman spectrum for a sample is obtained, it may be corrected to remove the white-light dispersive spectrum in accordance with the embodiments disclosed herein.
