Abstract:
The laser Raman spectra influenced by environmental light were studied in the determination of ZnCl2 solution. The environmental light included the natural light from outdoors and the light from indoor fluorescent. The results show that different influences on the laser Raman spectra of ZnCl2 solution can be produced in different environmental light. There were some characteristic spectral lines, minus peaks or sharpened peaks. These influences cannot be ignored. The determinations of laser Raman spectra must be made in darkroom or in the sheathing or mantle etc.

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...
