New methodology to process shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy data: a case study of pollen classification.

ABSTRACT: Shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) is a background correction method for Raman spectroscopy. Here, the difference spectra were directly used as input for SERDS-based classification after an optimization procedure to correct for photobleaching of the autofluorescence. Further processing included a principal component analysis to compensate for the reduced signal to noise ratio of the difference spectra and subsequent classification by linear discriminant analysis. As a case study 6,028 Raman spectra of single pollen originating from plants of eight different genera and four different growth habits were automatically recorded at excitation wavelengths 784 and 786 nm using a high-throughput screening Raman system. Different pollen were distinguished according to their growth habit, i.e. tree versus non-tree with an accuracy of 95.9%. Furthermore, all pollen were separated according to their genus, providing also insight into similarities based on their families. Classification results were compared using spectra reconstructed from the differences and raw spectra after state-of-art baseline correction as input. Similar sensitivities, specificities, accuracies and precisions were found for all spectra with moderately background. Advantages of SERDS are expected in scenarios where Raman spectra are affected by variations due to detector etaloning, ambient light, and high background.

Project description:Optical fiber probe-based Raman spectroscopy systems are widely used for in situ measurements ranging from material characterization to biomedical applications. However, small Raman cross sections necessitate the use of high-power lasers or long exposure times that limit Raman's larger application to multiple research fields. This limitation can be overcome by collecting more Raman photons through additional collection fibers with taller detectors. This system configuration requires replacement of the detector and modification of the spectrograph to incorporate larger optical components, making it a costly and cumbersome option. In probe-based Raman systems, a typical detector image shows stacked collection fibers on the vertical axis and Raman spectra on the horizontal axis. While the vertical pixels are fully packed with multiple collection fibers, horizontal pixels have broad silent regions due to the narrow bandwidth of Raman peaks, potentially wasting valuable detector pixels. Here, we propose a new approach utilizing horizontally shifted collection fibers rather than vertically stacked ones. We designed and fabricated a novel collection fiber bundle that has horizontally shifted optical fibers in two vertical lines at the spectrograph entrance. This custom-made fiber bundle was incorporated into the imaging spectrograph to provide multiple horizontally shifted spectra on the detector. Through deconvolution, the original spectra can be recovered with an improved detection limit from greater photon collection. We demonstrate an enhanced limit of detection on various bioanalytes, such as glucose, urea, and lactate. Further, we applied the probe to measure tissue Raman spectra and successfully decomposed them into basis spectra, demonstrating the potential application of high-throughput in vivo tissue diagnosis. Our approach provides a simple, cost-effective, and universal method to increase the throughput without modifying existing Raman spectrometers.
