Introduction to Raman Spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the inelastic scattering of light as it interacts with molecular vibrations. This scattering produces a unique molecular fingerprint for each material, providing information on chemical composition, crystallinity, and structural changes such as stress, strain, and phase transitions.

At Avantes, we enhance Raman performance by combining high-sensitivity AvaSpec spectrometers with optimized laser sources, including 532 nm and 785 nm excitation. Each system is carefully configured to match the selected laser wavelength, ensuring maximum signal quality and reliable results for precise Raman analysis.
