	Raman spectroscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used in condensed matter physics and chemistry to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.
		Spontaneous Raman scattering is typically very weak, and as a result the main difficulty of Raman spectroscopy is separating the weak inelastically scattered light from the intense Rayleigh scattered laser light.
		Raman won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for this discovery, accomplished using filtered sunlight as a monochromatic source of photons, a colored filter as a monochromator, and a human eye as detector.

	Raman scattering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Raman scattering or the Raman effect is the inelastic scattering of a photon which creates or annihilates an optical phonon.
		In 1922, Indian physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman published his work on the "Molecular Diffraction of Light," the first of a series of investigations with his collaborators which ultimately led to his discovery on 28 February 1928 of the radiation effect which bears his name.
		The distortion of a molecule in an electric field, and therefore the vibrational Raman cross section, is determined by its polarizability.

	Raman Spectroscopy
		Raman Spectroscopy was invented in 1928 by Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and has been successfully used for many years in the qualitative and quantitative examination of liquids and gases.
		Raman radiation arises when a beam of light is shone onto a sample — some of the light is absorbed by the molecules in the sample and re-emitted at different wavelengths, the pattern of the emitted Raman lines being characteristic of the molecules in the sample.
		Hitherto it has been necessary to extract dyes and pigments from samples to examine them by Raman Spectroscopy, but new instrumentation employing a pinpoint laser beam and a highly sensitive detector now allows inks to be examined in situ, effectively permitting non-destructive testing of materials on paper.

		Raman spectroscopy enables the study of vibrations in molecules and solids through the interaction of light with the vibrations.
		Raman spectroscopy was first invented about 75 years ago, in 1928, by Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman.
		One of the concerns at the time (private communication with Dr. Etz) was that micro-Raman spectroscopy might not be the same as traditional Raman spectroscopy, since it was performed through a microscope and on such a small (micron-sized) volume of material.

		After the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics, in 1934, Raman became the director of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, where two years later he continued as a professor of physics.
		Raman scattering can occur with a change in vibrational, rotational or electronic energy of a molecule.
		In Raman microscopy the sample is illuminated with monochromatic light (a laser) and the light scattered by the material is analyzed by a conventional optical microscope coupled to a Raman spectrometer or a very sophisticated filter.

	Raman effect
		The energy and thus the frequency and wavelength of the scattered light is changed as the light either imparts rotational or vibrational energy to the scattering molecules or takes energy away.
		This Raman spectrum is characteristic of the transmitting substance.

		It announced the discovery of 'a new type of secondary radiation' later identified to be the result of a particular kind of light scattering that received the name 'Raman effect'.
		While Raman's theory was later shown to be wrong, it nevertheless predicted significant vibrational frequencies of crystal lattices observed in experiments because it gave an important subset of the modes in Born's theory.
