I don't think so...
The Raman effect involves the inelastic scattering of photons from molecules via interactions with the vibrational modes of the analyte molecule. In this process, a photon typically transfers a fraction of its energy to a vibrational mode within the molecule, and consequently its wavelength is red-shifted.
The degree of the shift corresponds to the amount of energy taken up by the molecule. Because the vibrational modes are quantized and their energy spacing is molecule-specific, the molecular identity can be determined from the pattern of the observed shifts.
The general applicability of this technique is limited to samples that do not exhibit strong fluorescence emission in the Raman spectral range, as strong emissions can easily swamp the relatively weak Raman signals. This problem can often be eliminated or minimized, however, using near-IR excitation away from the electronic absorption bands of most fluorescing items.
So again where is the fluorescence light source or the near IR source. All I see is a laser light source (Raman). Which as explained will be swamped. No combo machine going on here. PhotoBS used in the early Valimed machines admittedly used a UV light source for fluorescence excitation like the several ones sold by poteet on Ebay along with the Ocean optics spectrometers.
