Raman is a light scattering technique, whereby a molecule scatters incident light from a high intensity laser light source. Most of the scattered light is at the same wavelength (or color) as the laser source and does not provide useful information – this is called Rayleigh Scatter...
Raman Shift It is clear from the above, that the wavelength of the Raman scattered light will depend on the wavelength of the excitation light. This makes the Raman scatter wavelength an impractical number for comparison between spectra measured using different lasers. The Raman scatter position is...
excitation wavelength and the influence of laser power. For the purposes of this simple introduction, it is enough to note that Raman spectroscopy demands high stability monochromatic laser sources and high-sensitivity, low noise optics, which can acquire spectra with good resolution ...
What Do We Learn from Two-Dimensional Raman Spectra by Varying the Polarization Conditions?aThe potential energy of the system consists of a sum of Xe-Xe pair potentials uXeXe(r) plus a Xe-X pair potential uXeX(r) for each atom X = S, C or S in CS2. The pair potentials between ...
If no reference spectra are available, you can create Raman images using unsupervised chemometric methods. These include cluster analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), or Renishaw's EmptyModelling™ software feature. We can use these chemometric methods without knowing what is in the sample....
Raman intensity interpretation is made more challenging by variations in sample focus during imaging since it is difficult to distinguish between changes in intensities brought on by variations in sample focus and those produced by changes in the sample itself. The quality of the Raman spectra and ...

Raman spectra of these tubes are quite interesting because of resonance phenomena and sensitivity to tube structure. That is, there is very strong excitation wavelength dependence of the spectra resulting from the electronic band structure. And features in the Raman spectra are diagnostic of the CNT...
Spectroscopy is the name used to describe the study of spectra produced by matter that interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation, with spectra is measured as a function of radiation frequency or wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation is directed towards a sample, which then absorbs energy from...
Raman spectroscopy systems typically consist of a laser-generated light source for excitation, with a microscope and detectors to capture the spectra for analysis. The equipment is highly-specialized and complex software is required for the Raman spectral output analysis. Spectra may vary based on ...
