Raman Spectroscopy: Overview

691
The underlying principle of Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter, specifically molecules' inelastic scattering of photons. When a monochromatic beam of light, typically from a laser source, interacts with a sample, most scattered light has the same frequency as the incident light. This is known as Rayleigh scattering.
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and...

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview

568
A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
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...

Main Methods:

  • Acquisition of thousands of SERS spectra using single nanosecond laser pulses.
  • Application of a data selection procedure based on Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN).
  • Reconstruction of spectra from clustered data to enhance signal quality.

Main Results:

  • Successful recovery of minor Raman peaks in a crystal violet solution (10-7 mol/L) undetectable by conventional SERS.
  • Effective separation and observation of overlapping Raman peaks.
  • Demonstration of significantly improved sensitivity and spectral resolution.

Conclusions:

  • The developed DBSCAN-based SERS method provides unprecedented sensitivity and spectral resolution.
