Abstract
We report how we had a Raman fber bundle probe with individually flter-coated fbers manufactured
by organizing an iteratve producton process between one fber coatng and one fber bundling
company. Short- and long pass flters had directly been deposited at the ends of the excitaton and
detecton fbers, before the single fbers were confgured to a 6-around-1 fber bundle. We found that
the performance of the fber bundle probe with individually flter-coated fbers, with respect to signal
detecton and suppression of elastcally scatered light, is similar to a free-beam Raman reference probe.
The demonstraton of a Raman fber bundle probe with individually flter-coated fbers paves the way for
the development of fber bundle Raman probes suitable for several excitaton and detecton channels.

In practce, usually the Stokes-part of the
Raman spectrum is analyzed. In order to being
able to extract as much informaton as possible
from the Raman-Stokes spectrum of a sample, it is
advantageous to analyze its entre spectral range
between the smallest and the largest potentally
occurring Raman shifs. The smallest Raman shif of
0 cm
-1
is due to elastc light scatering and therefore
corresponds to the wavelength of the excitaton
laser. The largest potentally occurring Raman
shif of approximately 4155 cm
-1
corresponds to
the intra-molecular vibraton of the hydrogen
molecule. The largest Raman shifs of other species
Introducton
The Raman spectrum of a sample originates
from an inelastc light/mater-interacton, which
is referred to as Raman scatering. The Raman
spectrum contains valuable informaton about the
sample, such as its chemical compositon [1-3],
its temperature [4-6], its polymorphism [7-9], its
heterogeneity and - with respect to medicine or
biology - also the histopathological state of human,
animalistc or herbal tssue [10-12]. Optcal fbers
play a pivotal role for making Raman measurements
possible deep inside the body, remotely or in hardly
accessible or hazardous environments [13,14].
