We present a generalized approach to obtain improved Raman intensity profiles from in-depth studies performed by confocal Raman microspectroscopy (CRM) with dry objectives. The approach is based on regularized deconvolution ...

Liquid-glassy polymer diffusion is an important topic in polymer physics, with several mechanistic aspects that still remain unclear. Here we describe the use of confocal Raman microspectroscopy (CRM) to study directly ...

It has been well documented that the use of dry optics in depth profiling by confocal Raman microspectroscopy significantly distorts the laser focal volume, thus negatively affecting the spatial resolution of the measurements. ...

In this work, we test simple models proposed to predict two characteristic features when performing depth profiling with dry-optics confocal Raman microspectroscopy (CRM): the decay in the collected intensity and the ...
