Raman Effect The incoming light is in-elastically scattered by the vibration of the molecules. This change in frequency of the light due to vibrational scattering is the Raman effect.
Mechanism of Scattering • Transitions occur in 10-14 seconds • Raman Shift (cm-1) • Excess energy released as heat
Raman Microspectroscopy • Sample volume can be as small as 1µm diameter • Imaging modes • Direct Imaging – Imaging over small range of wavenumbers • Hyperspectral Imaging –Location profile of various components
Applications • Detect counterfeit drugs • Non-destructive detection of biological components • Monitors gas mixtures in medical applications • Characterization of materials and orientation • Monitors activity in catalytic reactions
