Confocal Raman Spectroscopy
Principle and characterization possibilities
Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational technique based on the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light (laser). The difference in energy (or wavelength) of the scattered light from a material is characteristic for a particular bond in its molecular structure. The various energy shifts associated with different molecular vibrations leads to a Raman spectrum which is unique for each molecule and provides a precise spectral fingerprint.
