Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing fluorescence and systematic noise in time-gated spectroscopy are disclosed. Exemplary methods include: a method for reducing fluorescence and systematic noise in time-gated spectroscopy may comprise: providing first light using an excitation light source; receiving, by a detector, first scattered light from a material responsive to the first light during a first time window; detecting a peak intensity of the first scattered light; receiving, by the detector, second scattered light from the material responsive to the first light during a second time window; detecting a peak intensity of the second scattered light; recovering a spectrum of the material by taking a ratio of the peak intensity of the first scattered light and the peak intensity of the second scattered light; and identifying at least one molecule of the material using the recovered spectrum and a database of identified spectra.
