title: Gas chromatography-multiplex coherent Raman spectroscopy.
abstract: A new detector for gas chromatography has been developed that is based upon nonlinear Raman spectroscopy. The resulting hyphenated instrument uses a simple windowless cell as the interface between the chromatograph and the spectroscopic detector. The eluents are detected using a unique spectrometer equipped with a broadband OPO. This spectrometer is capable of generating high-resolution coherent Raman signals that are suitable for rapid multichannel detection.
