Abstract:
Laser-induced fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy of serum for detect colon cancer was investigated in this paper. The difference to serum spectrum was discovered. Three Raman peaks were consistently observed from normal blood serum emission using 488.0nm and 514.5nm excitation of an Ar-ion laser. While no Raman peak or slight Raman peaks were detected from colon cancer's cases. In addition, the red shift of fluorescence peak and decrease of fluorescence intensity are founded after samples radiated by laser. 65 colon cancer cases are investigated in this paper. Through three parameters we obtained an accuracy of 83.5% compared to clinical diagnosis. These results have important reference values to explore the method of Raman spectrum and for diagnosis of cancer.

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...
