Howell Edwards dedicates his contributions to this volume to his wife, Gill, and
daughter, Kate, for their continued support and encouragement over many years, and to
the memory of Dr. Leonard Woodward, who first introduced him to Raman Spectroscopy
as a research student, which developed into a lifelong study.
Finally, both editors express their gratitude to all the chapter authors who spent many
hours on their respective contributions and met many deadlines despite their very busy
schedules.
Since 1928, when Raman and Krishnan published their manuscript in Nature that heralded
the experimental discovery of a "new type of secondary radiation,"-later to be termed
Raman scattering-the field has undergone several distinct phases. From its discovery
until World War 11, when a commercial infrared spectrometer was produced, Raman spec-
troscopy retained its position as the predominant vibrational spectroscopic technique. Since
the widespread adoption of infrared spectroscopy, Rarnan has existed as a poor cousin but
has had two notable periods of user expansion. The first, in the 1960s, coincided with the
development of the double monochromator, the laser, and electronic methods of signal
detection. The second and current period started approximately 15 years ago and is still
progressing. During this time, three major developments have driven the field of Raman
spectroscopy forward: the advent of laser-line blocking filters, the successful demonstration
and quick acceptance of FT-Raman spectroscopy, and the adoption of scientific-grade
charge coupled device (array) detectors as the preferred detector for the majority of dis-
persive Raman spectroscopic experiments.
The developments noted above have indeed changed the perception of Raman spec-
troscopy completely. However, it should be noted that there are still several applications
in which using a triple monochromator equipped with either a PMT or an array detector
may be the only appropriate technology. This is especially true for applications in which
low-frequency vibrations need to be observed.
These instrumental developments have had a dramatic effect on the applications of
Raman spectroscopy. In the early to mid-1980s, Raman spectroscopy was considered to
be a purely academic research tool with some industrial applications acknowledged by the
academic community. Now, observing the composition of practitioners in the field of
Raman spectroscopy it can be clearly seen that there are two groups. The first is composed
almost exclusively of academics and scientists working in government laboratories, while
the second comprises academics, industrial problem solvers, process and control engineers,
and quality control technicians who started to use or reuse Raman spectroscopy as a tool
from the late 1980s.
Several texts have appeared over the last few years, that have concentrated on either
theory or instrumentation, FT-Raman, and dispersive spectrometers. When we first con-
ceived this book, there was not a single reference source whose basis was (a) Can Raman
spectroscopy be of use? and if it can, (b) what type of instrumentation will allow the user
to obtain the most useful data? We have tried to identify as many areas of topical interest
as possible, that will be appropriate to the second group of Raman practitioners described
above. We have drawn together and blended industrial and academic spectroscopists to
produce a comprehensive text for modern Raman spectroscopists.
In the early chapters, the principles of Raman theory, instrumentation, selection of
appropriate instrumentation, important instrumental measurement parameters, the use of
data for the practitioner's benefit, and extracting the important analytical information from
recorded data are introduced and discussed. These early chapters, where appropriate, use
specific examples to illustrate the necessary concepts.
The later chapters provide extensive coverage of applications (semiconductors,carbon,
hard-disk analysis, catalysts, glasses, pigments, gemmology, environmental science, in vivo
biomedical studies, pharmaceutical studies, biodynamics, process control, archaeology, fo-
rensics, polymer films and fibers) where Raman spectroscopy has proven to be an appro-
priate tool is provided. In addition, fundamental reviews of gaseous, liquid, and solid phase
Raman analysis are separate topics of discussion. Again, these chapters incorporate specific
case-studies which should provide useful guidelines for the scientist planning to embark
on the use of Raman spectroscopy as well as for the more experienced spectroscopist who
plans to expand the use of Raman spectrometry into newer applications.
The miniaturization of Raman spectrometers is now being addressed, and research-
grade miniature Raman units will soon be available commercially. The drive to put a
Raman spectrometer on Mars by 2005, providing arguably the most remote sensing Raman
experiment ever undertaken, is an illustration of how the versatility of Raman spectroscopy
is now being expanded. There are reports of suitable field instruments being developed of
only several kilograms in mass, and the Raman spectrometers proposed for extraterrestrial
planetary explorations are the smallest yet constructed (-1 kg or less). Despite the re-
quirements for small size and rugged construction one thing is clear-there can be little
or no sacrifice in spectral-quality information (resolution and sensitivity) provided by these
miniaturized spectrometers. The already much expanded application portfolio of Raman
spectroscopy is clearly ever-increasing.

I. INTRODUCTION
Raman scattering is a fundamental form of molecular spectroscopy [1,2]. Together with
infrared (IR) absorption, Raman scattering is used to obtain information about the structure
and properties of molecules from their vibrational transitions [3-51. The theory of Raman
scattering is more complex that the theory of IR absorption, but there are a number of
close parallels between the two theories [6-101.
As is well known, IR absorption arises from a direct resonance between the frequency
of the IR radiation and the vibrational frequency of a particular normal mode of vibration.
The property of the molecule involved in the resonant interaction is the change in the
dipole moment of the molecule with respect to its vibrational motion. IR absorption is a
one-photon event. The IR photon encounters the molecule, the photon disappears, and the
molecule is elevated in vibrational energy by the energy of the photon at the frequency
of vibrational resonance.
By contrast, Raman scattering is a two-photon event. In this case, the property in-
volved is the change in the polarizability of the molecule with respect to its vibrational
motion. The interaction of the polarizability with the incoming radiation creates an induced
dipole moment in the molecule, and the radiation emitted by this induced dipole moment
contains the observed Raman scattering. The light scattered by the induced dipole of the
molecule consists of both Rayleigh scattering and Raman scattering. Rayleigh scattering
corresponds to the light scattered at the frequency of the incident radiation, whereas the
Raman radiation is shifted in frequency, and hence energy, from the frequency of the
incident radiation by the vibrational energy that is gained or lost in the molecule. The
polarizability is a tensor with two Cartesian components; one is associated with the inci-
dent photon and the other with the scattered photon. The two photons are connected by a
single quantum mechanical process, a coherent event, that makes Rayleigh and Raman
scattering different from the two one-photon events of absorption followed by emission.
An energy-level diagram is given in Fig. 1, which illustrates IR absorption and Raman
scattering. In both cases the initial state is the zeroth vibrational level of the ground
electronic state (go) and the final state is the first vibrational level of the ground electronic
state (gl). IR absorption achieves this state change in one step, whereas Raman scattering
requires two steps involving photon energies that are well above that of the IR photon or
energy of the vibrational transition. Also indicated in Fig. 1 are the excited vibronic states
for the molecule labeled ev for the vth vibrational level of the eth electronic state. If the
molecule gains vibrational energy as shown, the scattering is called Stokes Raman, whereas
if the molecule loses vibrational energy (by starting from an elevated vibrational level),
the process is known as anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
To varying degrees, Raman scattering is sensitive to all the excited electronic states
of the molecule. If the incident photon energy approaches the transition energy of an
excited electronic state, typically the lowest allowed of such states, the Raman scattering
changes from normal Raman scattering to resonance Raman scattering. The general theory
of Raman scattering takes into account this complexity, but there are two important limits
that reduce the complexity. One is the far-from-resonance (FFR) limit. This is a common
situation for colorless samples that have no electronic states in close proximity to the
incident photon energy. The other is the single-electronic-state (SES) limit of strong res-
onance with a single electronic state. In this limit, the incident photon energy is very close
to, or falls within, the absorption band of an excited electronic state of the molecule, and
the resulting resonance Raman (RR) scattering is dominated by the properties of this
resonant electronic state.
In the past 25 years, a new area of Raman spectroscopy has evolved that is also a
new form of molecular optical activity [9,11-131. Called Raman optical activity (ROA),
this form of Raman scattering applies only to chiral molecules, molecules whose mirror-
image pairs are nonsuperposable. ROA is broadly defined as the difference in Raman
scattering for right versus left circularly polarized (CP) radiation, where the change in the
CP state of the light is effected for either the incident radiation, the scattered radiation, or
both, either in phase or out of phase. The theory of ROA is more complex than the theory
of ordinary Raman scattering because it involves additional terms in the expansion of the
polarizability beyond the dipole approximation. The new optical activity tensors involve
either the magnetic dipole moment or the electric quadrupole moment.
In this chapter, we will provide a very basic, unified treatment of the theory of Raman
scattering and ROA. More extensive descriptions of theory of Raman and ROA scattering
can be found elsewhere [6- 10,12,14,15].
In this equation, the angular brackets designate an average over all angles of orientation
of the molecule to the laboratory frame of reference. This is needed for liquid, solution,
or gaseous samples where there is no unique orientation of molecular axes relative to the
laboratory axes. The polarization vectors have one Greek subscript and the scattering
tensor has two. For repeated Greek subscripts, summation over the Cartesian directions x,
y, and z is implied. Hence, Eq. (1) has, in general, nine terms (one for each component
pair xx, xy, xz, yx, yy, yz, zx, zy, and zz) within the vertical brackets, and these brackets
with superscript 2 designate the absolute square of the complex quantities within the
brackets. The tilde above a quantity, such as a polarization vector or a scattering tensor,
indicates that this quantity can be complex. The asterisk superscript for the polarization
vector of the scattered light designates complex conjugation. The constant K is given by
where o is the angular frequency of the scattered light, p,, is the magnetic permeability,
E'O'is the electric field strength of the incident laser radiation, and R is the distance from
the scattering origin to the detector.
The Raman polarizability tensor is given by [12,14]
where fi is Planck's constant divided by 27~,and the summation is over all excited elec-
tronic states, j, of the molecule. The states n and m differ by a vibrational quantum of
energy. The denominators contain frequency terms, and oj,is the angular frequency dif-
ference between the states j and n. The terms ir, are imaginary terms proportional to the
width of the vibronic state j and, hence, inversely proportional to its lifetime. The first of
the two terms in Eq. (3) is called the resonance term because the frequency difference
between the j n transition frequency and the laser frequency vanishes at the resonance
condition. The quantities in angular brackets are quantum mechanical matrix elements
with electric dipole moment operators fia given by
where the symmetric and antisymmetric forms of the polarizability tensors are given by
over the Cartesian directions x, y, and z. Thus, in Eqs. (5)-(7), there are nine terms to
consider to write out the full expression. Using these invariants, a general theory of Raman
scattering can be constructed that describes all Raman experiments and depolarization
ratios.
The depolarization ratio varies from zero for Raman scattering from totally symmetric
modes where only the isotropic invariant is nonzero, through 314 for nontotally symmetric
modes in the case where only the symmetric anisotropic invariant is nonzero, and on to
co for modes where only the antisymmetric anisotropic invariant is nonzero. It can be
shown that the antisymmetric anisotropic invariant can be nonzero only for resonance
Raman scattering.
In general, it is not possible to isolate all three Raman tensor invariants from the two
right-angle scattering measurements, and a third linearly independent measurement is
needed. This can only be achieved using a different scattering geometry and circularly
polarized radiation. Two convenient options are backscattering using purely circularly po-
larized radiation (right or left) where either the sense of the circularly polarized radiation
of the incident and scattered beams is the same (RR or LL) or the opposite (RL or LR).
For the case of incident right circularly polarized radiation, we have
The ratio of these two intensities is called the reversal ratio and is given by
The Raman intensity in Eq. (13) corresponds to corotating circularly polarized backscat-
V. FAR-FROM-RESONANCE LIMIT
The theory of Raman scattering simplifies dramatically in the far-from-resonance (FFR)
limit, where the exciting laser radiation is far from the lowest allowed excited electronic
state of the molecule [15]. In this limit, the interaction of the light with the molecule is
approximately the same for both the incident and the scattered radiation. There, the Raman
tensor becomes symmetric and this symmetry reduces the number of Raman invariants
from three to two, the isotropic and (symmetric) anisotropic invariants. The antisymmetric
anisotropic invariant vanishes, by its antisymmetric definition in Eqs. (7) and (9), and we
have
Here, only the real part (Re) of the matrix element product is needed. This expression can
be compared to the corresponding general expression for the polarizability given in Eq.
(3). Using these invariants, we can write intensity expressions for Raman scattering that
cover all possible polarizations and scattering geometries in the FFR approximation. The
Raman-intensity expressions for right-angle scattering and the depolarization ratio in the
FFR limit are given by
The depolarization ratio given in Eq. (23) is the more familiar form where the allowed
values range from zero for a spherically polarized band to 314 for any non-totally sym-
metric vibration, where the isotropic invariant is zero for the latter. The corresponding
expression for corotating and contrarotating backscattering in the FFR limit are given by
Here, the reversal ratio varies from 0 to 6 for the same limits as the depolarization ratio
in Eq. (23). The above intensity expressions may be combined for other experimental
setups in right-angle scattering and backscattering. For example, for incident linearly po-
larized radiation in right-angle scattering and unpolarized scattering radiation (all scattered
radiation measured, both X- and 2-polarized), one has
Similarly, for backscattering, the same intensity if obtained by summing Eqs. (24) and
(25). Here, for unpolarized light collection, the scattered intensity is independent of the
polarization state incident radiation:
Note that in the FFR limit, the value of both Raman intensity invariants may be obtained
by using only two different polarization measurements and there is no need to change the
scattering geometry, as there is the general case in order to isolate three Raman invariants.
We also note that the distribution of the anisotropic invariant is different between the
polarized and depolarized forms of scattering in right-angle scattering and backscattering
geometries even though the total scattered intensity is the same. The pure backscattered
anisotropic scattering is twice the value for the corotating backscattering compared to the
perpendicular right-angle scattering [compare Eqs. (21) and (24)l. For this reason, there
may be advantages to setting up backscattering compared to right-angle scattering when
one wants to emphasize the difference between the scattering from the isotropic invariant
and that of the anisotropic invariant.
If the transition moment of the resonant electronic state is taken to lie in the z direction,
the general set of three Raman invariants reduces effectively to only one Raman invariant
as
where (P):~is the electric dipole transition moment between the ground and the resonant
electronic state, respectively. From this relationship, it is clear that there is an underlying
connection between RR scattering in the SES limit and the electronic absorption spectrum
of the resonant electronic state. If one varies the excitation frequency of the incident laser
beam and measures the relative intensity of the RR scattering for any particular band, one
obtains a spectrum called the excitation profile of the band, which carries the resonance
dependence of that band. The form of the frequency dependence of the excitation profile
can be seen by taking the absolute square of the denominator of Eq. (29). Usually, the
resonant vibronic states that are most important for a given vibration are the eO and e l
vibronic bands. This assumes that the excited-state potential surface is nearly the same as
that of the ground state except for a shift in the equilibrium nuclear position. If more than
one electronic state participates in the resonance enhancement of bands, either by direct
resonance or indirectly through vibronic coupling, excitation profiles can reveal informa-
tion about the origin and symmetry of individual RR bands.
This expression contains the vector cross-product, written in Cartesian notation, of the
position of the electron r and its momentum p. Here empYis the antisymmetric tensor which
equals - 1 for an odd permutations of the Cartesian axes x, y, and z, and + 1 for an even
permutation. Similarly, one must consider the electric quadrupole moment operator given
in Cartesian tensor notation by
where Sap is the Kronecker delta function which is equal to + 1 if the Cartesian subscripts
are equal and zero if they differ. These operators can be substituted into the general
expression for the polarizability given in Eq. (3) to yield the magnetic dipole and the
electric quadrupole optical activity tensors. In the FFR limit, simpler expressions for these
tensors are obtained that are analogous to the FFR polarizability tensor given in Eq. (20)
and are given by
where Im and Re represent the imaginary and real parts, respectively, of the expressions
in brackets that follow. From these tensors arise three ROA invariants that are analogous
to the two FFR Raman invariants given in Eqs. (18) and (19). The three ROA invariants
are the magnetic dipole isotropic invariant and the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole
anisotropic invariants, given respectively by
The two most important experimental setups for the measurement of ROA are backscat-
tering (180") incident circular polarization (ICP) ROA and backscattering in-phase dual
circular polarization (DCP,) ROA. The ROA and parent Raman intensities written in terms
of ROA and Raman invariants in the FFR limit are given by
respectively, for backscattering ICP ROA where the subscript u represents unpolarized
scattered light and the superscript represents the polarization state of the incident laser
radiation. For backscattering DCP, Raman and ROA intensity, the expressions are
The ROA intensities are the same for these two forms of ROA, but the corresponding
Raman intensities differ. This is because ICP ROA does not discriminate the polarization
state of the scattered light and additional Raman scattering is measured that carries no
ROA in the FFR limit, namely the out-of-phase DCP,, Raman and ROA intensities. Back-
scattering ICP, and DCP, ROA are the most efficient ways to measure ROA spectra that
can be devised, and in the last decade, nearly all new measurements of ROA have been
carried out using one or the other of these two setups.
where the distinction between the initial and final states is not needed, neither is the
frequency of the incident laser radiation in the frequency denominator. The Raman inten-
sities can be obtained from these tensors by calculating their variation with the normal
coordinates of vibrational motion. The method by which these tensors have been calculated
is the electric field perturbation approach. The summation over all the excited states j can
be avoided by substituting field perturbed wavefunctions in first-order perturbation theory
for their nonperturbed counterparts as
where Emis the ath Cartesian component of the electric field, and the prime on the wave
function indicates the first derivative with respect to the field. Using ab initio quantum
mechanical methods, excellent agreement between theory and experiment has been
achieved. A particularly successful approach is the use of density functional theory (DFT)
with the hybrid density functionals B3LYP and BPW94 and basis functions at the level
of 6-3lG* or higher. Once the Raman tensors are calculated, invariants can be constructed
using Eqs. (18) and (19), and then assembled into the combinations appropriate for the
experimental setup desired. Extensions of these calculations have also been carried out for
ROA, where good agreement with experiment has been achieved.
