Abstract
An apparatus is described for the real-time identification of one or more selected components of a target material. In one embodiment, an infrared spectrometer and a separate Raman spectrometer are coupled to exchange respective spectral information of the target material preferably normalized and presented in a single graph. In an alternative embodiment, both an infrared spectrometer and a Raman spectrometer are included in a single instrument and a common infrared light source is used by both spectrometers. In another embodiment, a vibrational spectrometer and a stoichiometric spectrometer are combined in a single instrument and are coupled to exchange respective spectral information of the target material and to compare the spectral information against a library of spectra to generate a real-time signal if a selected component is present in the target material.
