Abstract

Raman spectroscopy is a type of spectroscopy that is used to detect vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. It is based on the Raman scattering (inelasticity) of monochromatic light. When laser light interacts with molecular vibrations, the energy of the laser photons is moved up or down. The energy shift reveals information about the system's vibrational modes. This chapter defines Raman spectroscopy, and its various varieties, and explains some of its most important and advanced uses.
