  Raman Spectroscopy Tutorial
The difference in energy between the incident photon and the Raman scattered photon is equal to the energy of a vibration of the scattering molecule.
The Raman effect arises when a photon is incident on a molecule and interacts with the electric dipole of the molecule.
Raman scatter is partially polarized, even for molecules in a gas or liquid, where the individual molecules are randomly oriented.

  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.
The Raman effect corresponds, in perturbation theory, to the absorption and subsequent emission of a photon via an intermediate electron state, having a virtual energy level (see also: Feynman diagram).
In contradistinction with the fluorescence effect, the Raman effect is therefore not a resonant effect.

 Raman Spectroscopy
Raman Spectroscopy is based on the Raman effect, which is the inelastic scattering of photons by molecules.
The effect was discovered by the Indian physicist, C. Raman in 1928.
For highly symmetric polyatomic molecules possessing a center of inversion (such as benzene) it is observed that bands that are active in the IR spectrum are not active in the Raman spectrum (and vice-versa).

 Raman effect
Raman scattering is perhaps most easily understandable if the incident light is considered as consisting of particles, or photons (with energy proportional to frequency), that strike the molecules of the sample.
The Raman effect is feeble; for a liquid compound the intensity of the affected light may be only 1/100,000 of that incident beam.
The pattern of the Raman lines is characteristic of the particular molecular species, and its intensity is proportional to the number of scattering molecules in the path of the light.

 FAQs
Classical concept of Raman scattering: When a beam of light interacts with a material, part of it is transmitted, part it is reflected, and part of it is scattered.
The scattered radiation produced by the Raman effect contains information about the energies of molecular vibrations and rotations, and these depend on the particular atoms or ions that comprise the molecule, the chemical bonds connect them, the symmetry of their molecule structure, and the physico-chemical environment where they reside.
A Raman photon is emitted if a molecule then undergoes a transition to a higher vibrational energy state than its original state (Stokes-Raman), or to a lower energy vibrational state (Anti-Stokes Raman).

Raman is an Aussie Tamil from Chennai, born and now living in London, who is becoming famous for the unthinkable- singing 300-year-old Telugu and Sanskrit songs to a rap beat and rather good reviews.

The Raman effect has been exploited in fiber lasers for many years, but several kilometers of fiber are required to make a useful device because glass fiber has an amorphous structure with a random atomic arrangement, weakening the Raman effect.
Crystalline silicon, however, has a well-ordered atomic arrangement, so the Raman effect is up to a million times stronger in a confined silicon waveguide, making it ideal for creating a laser only millimeters in size.
The Raman effect, Homewood explained, is a purely optical-to-optical transition.

During the first twelve years after its discovery, about 1800 research papers were published on various aspects of it and about 2500 chemical compounds were studied.Raman Effect was highly praised as one of the greatest discoveries of the third decade of this century.
After the 'lasers' (devices that produce intense beams of light, their name coming from the initial letters of 'Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) came into use in the 1960's, it became easier to get monochromatic light of very high intensity for experiments.
This brought back scientific interest in Raman Effect, and the interest remains alive to this day.
