Evolution of Instrumentation for Detection of the Raman Effect as Driven by Available Technologies and by Developing Applications
Adar, Fran; Delhaye, Michel; DaSilva, Edouard
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n1 p50-60 Jan 2007
The evolution of Raman instrumentation from the time of the initial report of the phenomenon in 1928 to 2006 is discussed. The first instruments were prism-based spectrographs using lenses for collimation and focusing and the 21st century instruments are also spectrographs, but they use CCD cameras. The Lippmann filter technology that appears to be a pre-laser replica of the 21st century's holographic filters was suggested as a means to suppress the source scattering in a Raman spectrum.
