  • notwendige Spektralkanäle zur Substanzbestimmung?

Raman spectroscopy allows for analyzing and identifying molecules in chemical substances by typical structural fingerprints. However, identifying signals are often weak and mixed with noise and therefore hard to detect. The Shifted Excitation Raman Difference Spectroscopy (SERDS) helps to separate identifying fingerprints from noise like background light and fluorescence. For finding target molecules a typical Raman line needs to be isolated from a Raman scattering. In the project, a classifying neural network on scattering data has to be developed. Main goal for AI is to detect molecules starting with Beta Carotene from many other molecules.Target is to have AI that can detect beta carotene from raman spectra. Furthermore, logic expressions derived from the network help to explain the network semantics. On the basis of that
knowledge new Raman sensors for specific target substances can be devised.
