RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND ITS

APPLICATIONS
OBJECTIVES
 To understand concept of “Raman spectroscopy”.

 To understand its applications in various fields.

 To understand basic instrumentation of Raman spectrometer.

 To know challenges that are faced in Raman spectroscopy.

 INTRODUCTION

 Raman spectroscopy was discovered by Dr. C.V.Raman in 1928.

 Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used to observe vibrational,

rotational and other low frequency modes in the system.
 INTRODUCTION
 Monochromatic laser light with the frequency –V0 excites molecule and
transform them into oscillating dipole. Such oscillating dipole emits light of three
frequencies namely :

1. Rayleigh Scattering
2. Stokes Raman Scattering
3. Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering.
BASIC INSTRUMENTATION OF RAMAN
SPECTROMETER
TYPES OF RAMAN SPECTROMETER

 Dispersive Raman spectrometer

 Fourier Transform Raman spectrometer.

INSTRUMENTATION OF DISPERSIVE RAMAN
SPECTROMETER

1. Light source
2. Collecting optics
3. Straylight rejection filter
4. Wavelength selector
5. Detector.
INSTRUMENTATION OF RAMAN
