Brillouin Spectrometer

A laser beam is focused on the sample by an optical system. The scattered light can be acquired at 180° with respect to the incident beam (backscatering) or at 90°. Sampel holder permits to precisely vary the incidence angle. Brillouin spectrometer is a Sandercock tandem multi-pass Fabry-Perot with a contrats of about 1000000. This permits to separate peaks with a frequency shift (with respect to the vidible laser light) in the 1-300 GHz range. The spectrum is acquired with a photomultiplier in single photo counting. Brillouin measurements in vacuum and in the 80-800 K temperature range can be performed by a Oxford Instruments cryostat.
