Overview
The Raman pipeline processes data in three stages:- File parsing: reads the spectral axis and intensity from uploaded .txt or .csv spectroscopy files
- Metadata extraction: reads laser power, exposure time, accumulation count, and excitation wavelength from the filename, along with descriptive details such as sample identity and measurement location
- Spectrum processing: removes cosmic-ray spikes, normalizes intensity by laser power and exposure (when known), calibrates the shift axis against silicon (when a silicon peak is present), subtracts the background, and detects peaks

Adding Data
Upload .txt or .csv spectroscopy files through the data page. Each file should contain a Raman shift column and an intensity column. Processing starts automatically once the upload completes.To enable intensity normalization, include the laser power and exposure time in the filename, for exampleSampleA_center_532nm_2mW_30s_10ac.txt. See Photoluminescence for the full filename convention.
