A visualization tool of Raman/PL mapping for Ramboss software.

Raman mapping plotter

A visualization tool for spectrum mapping

This is a post-processing GUI tool for results generated by Ramboss software.

Description

Data sets for Spectrum mapping can be obtained by motorised sample stage in x, y direction. Each spectrum contains energy (x-axis) and intensity (y-axis). For further analysis, especially spatial differences, post-processing is needed.

The user can select the energy range of a specific peak, and the result will be constructed as the peak area (z) for each point (x, y; Note: these x, y are physically real coordinates). Finally, this array can convert the Raman (or PL (photoluminescence) mapping results.
