Abstract
A spectroscopic analysis apparatus may include: a sample holder to retain a gem in analysis position; a first light source configured to emit a first primary beam at an excitation wavelength toward the analysis position to generate emission or diffusion of light; a second light source configured to emit a second primary beam comprising UV light toward the analysis position to impact on the first side; an optical focusing system to focus the light emitted or diffused by the first side in a secondary optical beam; a spectral dispersion device arranged to collect and spatially disperse the secondary optical beam; a first photodetector device arranged to collect the dispersed light and to output a distribution of spectral intensity as a function of emission wavelength; a second photodetector device to collect visible light transmitted through the gem; and a film of fluorescent material to UV light.
