Abstract:
The influences of different laser source and different light power on laser Raman spectra were studied for the sodium glutamic acid. The results show that some influences existed using different wavelength and power of light source the peak shifting 6 cm(-1). As UV laser has great light power, the samples were destroyed, making the Raman spectra- reduce or disappear. The attenuation of light was needed. The linear relation existed between the Raman intensity and the power of laser light source, and the correlation coefficient was more then 0.999. The Raman intensity per light power unit was related to the wavelength, and was not related to the power of laser source.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
