The Raman effect is based on light scattering. In most instances, light that “hits” a molecule does not interact with it and so the photon does not lose energy. This process is known as ...

Sir CV Raman was Indian physicist and recipient of Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the Raman Effect. The Raman Effect is about the comprehension of scattering of light.

Macquarie University researchers have demonstrated a technique to dramatically narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a ...

Fluorescence that is much stronger than the Raman effect can often be emitted by molecules excited by laser light on the UV-visible spectrum. This is called fluorescence background which is a major ...

Conversely, the 785nm laser holds a distinct advantage. With reduced susceptibility to fluorescence effects, it becomes an excellent choice for over 90% of Raman applications, while maintaining ...

Image Credit: Wasatch Photonics, Inc. Raman spectroscopy is carried out by employing a high-power laser to excite a molecule and looking at the shifted spectrum of light which is scattered back.

Raman discovered the phenomenon of the scattering of photons, which was later named the 'Raman Effect' in his honour. This discovery earned him the Nobel Prize in Science in 1930.

In Episode 52 of the Sky High column, Kakabhushundi travels through time to witness C.V. Raman's groundbreaking research on the scattering of light.

Laser light at 532 nm from the pumping laser passes through a focusing lens into the DMSO where the stimulated Raman scattering takes place, and 628 nm light comes out.

File National Science Day is celebrated in India to mark the discovery of the Raman effect by physicist C.V. Raman on February 28 in 1928.
