Almost 100 years after the discovery of the Raman scattering phenomenon, related
analytical techniques have emerged as important tools in biomedical sciences. Raman …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has enabled the detection of pathogens and
disease markers at extremely low levels. This review examines the potential impact of SERS …

Background The rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria at an early stage is a
highly significant research field for public health. However, most traditional approaches for …

Raman scattering is an inelastic phenomenon. Although its cross section is very small,
recent advances in electronics, lasers, optics, and nanotechnology have made Raman …

Raman spectroscopy has becoming a practical tool for rapid in vivo tissue diagnosis. This
paper provides an overview on the latest development of real‐time in vivo Raman systems …

CONCLUSIONS The work described here demonstrates the improved ac-curacy that can be
obtained when wavelength selectivity is combined with fluorescence lifetime selectivity …

The major advantage of Raman over its vibrational counterpart, IR spectroscopy, is the use
of visible radiation. Raman can be excited with visible light, which has a high transmission in …

Raman spectrometry has historically been limited to the study of pure, nonfluorescent
samples. During the period 1966-1986, several workers demonstrated that the use of deep …
