Raman spectroscopy
From LIMSWiki
Raman spectroscopy (named after C. V. Raman) is a spectroscopic technique used to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. It relies on inelastic scattering, or Raman scattering, of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near-infrared, or near-ultraviolet range.
