Raman spectroscopy can be described as a molecular type of spectroscopy which is capable of detecting and differentiating material’s unique fingerprint. Typical Raman applications are in chemistry.

The Raman effect is based on light scattering. In most instances, light that “hits” a molecule does not interact with it and so the photon does not lose energy. This process is known as elastic ...
