Microplastics—plastics particles smaller than 5 mm in size—have caused an environmental pollution issue that cannot be ignored by our society. Raman spectroscopy technology, with its non-contact, non-destructive and chemical-specific characteristics, has been widely applied in the field of microplastics detection. However, conventional point confocal Raman techniques are limited to single-point detection, impeding the detection speed.

, a research group led by Prof. Li Bei from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences , in collaboration with Prof. Wolfgang Langbein from Cardiff University, proposed a novel line-scan Raman micro-spectroscopy technique for rapid identification of micro- and nanoplastics.

Researchers developed a confocal line-scan Raman micro-spectroscopy system, established a preprocessing workflow for line-scan Raman spectral data, and applied the factorization into susceptibilities and concentrations algorithm to obtain Raman hyperspectral images. They employed a concave cylindrical lens to generate the excitation line and improved the uniformity of energy distribution using a Powell lens.
