Raman spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the chemical composition and molecular structure of materials based on their interaction with laser light. When a sample is irradiated with monochromatic light, a small fraction of the scattered light undergoes a change in energy due to interactions with molecular vibrations, resulting in Raman scattering. This scattering generates a unique spectral fingerprint that provides information about chemical bonds, functional groups, and molecular conformations within the sample. Raman spectroscopy offers advantages such as non-destructive analysis, minimal sample preparation, and the ability to analyze samples in various states (solid, liquid, gas). It is widely used in diverse fields including materials science, pharmaceuticals, forensics, and biomedical research for identification, characterization, and quality control purposes. Raman spectroscopy can detect and differentiate between different chemical species, polymorphs, and phases within a sample. Advances in instrumentation, such as portable Raman spectrometers and micro-Raman systems, enable in situ and real-time analysis of samples in various environments. Collaboration between scientists, engineers, and industry professionals drives innovation in Raman spectroscopy, expanding its applications and capabilities for solving complex analytical challenges.
