A system for processing Raman scattering light from a sample is provided. The system includes a source, a digital mirror device (DMD), a detector, and an analyzer. The DMD is configured to reflect Raman scattering light and includes micromirrors selectively controllable between ON and OFF states. The detector is configured to detect Raman scattering light and to produce signals representative of the Raman scattering light. The analyzer is in communication with the light source, the DMD, the detector, and a memory storing instructions, which instructions when executed cause the processor to: a) control the light source to produce a beam of light for interrogating the sample; b) control the DMD to place in an ON or OFF state based on one or more known spectral shapes stored in the memory; and c) process the Raman scattering light reflected by the micromirrors in the ON state.

Raman spectroscopy-based optical matched filter system and method for using the same

A method and system for identifying a Raman spectrum component of an observed spectrum is provided. The observed spectrum is produced by interrogating a material such as a tissue sample with light at the one or more predetermined wavelengths, and the observed spectrum includes a background fluorescence component representative of fluorescent emissions resulting from the light interrogation and a Raman spectrum component representative of a Raman scattering resulting from the light interrogation. The method includes a) creating a reconstructed fluorescence spectrum representative of the background fluorescence component of the observed spectrum using one or more empirically determined fluorescent spectral profiles; and b) identifying the Raman spectrum of the observed spectrum using the reconstructed fluorescence spectrum.
