Abstract
Examples of a spectroscopy probe for performing measurements of Raman spectra, reflectance spectra and fluorescence spectra are disclosed. The integrated spectral probe can comprise one or more light sources to provide a white light illumination to generate reflectance spectra, an excitation light to generate an UV/visible fluorescence spectra and a narrow band NIR excitation to induce Raman spectra. The multiple modalities of spectral measurements can be performed within 2 seconds or less. Examples of methods of operating the integrated spectroscopy probe disclosed.
