Abstract:
Raman spectroscopy is widely used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of trace components in scientific fields such as food safety monitoring, drug testing, environmental monitoring,
etc. In addition to its demonstrated advantages of fast response, non-destructive, and non-polluting
characteristics, fast online Raman detection is drawing growing attention for development. To
achieve this desirable capability, hollow core optical fibers are employed as a common transmission
channel for light and fluid in the Raman sensor. By enhancing the interaction process between light
and matter, the detection sensitivity is improved. At the same time, the Raman spectroscopy signal
light collection efficiency is significantly improved. This article summarizes enhancement techniques reported for Raman sensors, followed by a detailed review on fiber-based Raman sensor
techniques including theoretical analyses, fabrication, and application based on hollow core photonic crystal fibers and capillary-based hollow core fibers. The prospects of using these fibers for
Raman spectroscopy are discussed.
