Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. It involves scattering of monochromatic light, such as visible light, from a sample. Most of the scattered light is of the same wavelength as the incident light (Rayleigh scattering). However, a small fraction of the light gets scattered at wavelengths different from the incident wavelength (Raman scattering). Raman scattering that results in wavelengths longer than the incident wavelength is called Stokes radiation, while scattering at shorter wavelengths is called anti-Stokes radiation. Raman spectroscopy utilizes the Raman scattering effect to obtain a molecular fingerprint spectrum for identification of molecules.
