2 Raman Instrumentation\n\nSanford A.Asher and Richard Bormett  \nAbstract.The last decade has seen major advances in the applicationsof Raman spectroscopy to materials science.We review here the dranaticimprovements in Raman instrumentation that have enabled these incisivestudies.This chapter separately discusses advances in lasers,spectrometers,optics and detectors and illustrates some of these advances in a few examplesof new applications and instrumentation used in materials science research.  \nThe rapidly increasing use of Raman spectroscopy as a routine method ofmaterials characterization is a direct result of the recent dramatic advancesin lasers,detectors and spectroscopic instrumentation [1-3].Raman instru-ment companies have rapidly commercialized many of these advances.Someof these advances have made it possible to commercialize new relatively inex-pensive instruments(\u003C$100K including the laser).This has significantlyincreased the number of Raman instruments worldwide [4].The new genera-tion of low cost,high performance Raman instrumentation now makes Ramanspectral measurements easy,even for nonexperts.Industrial Raman instru-ments are now available for real time chemical process monitoring,manufac-turing quality control and routine analytical investigations.Many of theseindustrially rugged instruments utilize fiber optic probes that dramaticallysimplify measurements making them routine and easy for nonexperts [5].  \nThe Raman instrument advances have also affected the research gradeRaman instruments.Research grade instruments are available with extendedwavelength coverage from the UV into the near IR spectral regions.A com-mon feature of most of these new research-grade Raman instrunents is theincorporation of a microscope.These new Raman microscopes permit spectralimaging of samples with spatial resolutions\u003C1mm.The high spatial resolu-tion allows rapid chemical speciation of spatially inhomogeneous samples.  \nMost Raman instrumentation is fabricated by selecting the appropriatelasers,optics,spectrometers,and detectors necessary to optimize the Ramanspectrometer for the required Raman spectral measurements.Thus,it is na-tural to organize this chapter into separate sections that separately discussthese individual components.The last section will give a few exanples of useof new Raman instrumentation in materials science.  \n2.1.3 Nonlinear Raman Measurements  \nRaman scattering is a two-photon process [15].In the case of spontaneousRaman scattering the two photons include the laser excitation photon anda photon from the vacuum field [15].In most cases CW laser excitation pro-duces only a small number of Raman photons,and this number is negligiblecompared to the vacuum field photon density.Thus,the Raman intensityis observed to increase linearly with the incident excitation beam intensity.However,if the photon density at the Raman shifted wavelength approachesor exceeds the vacuum field photon density,stimulated Raman scattering willoccur.This process shows a higher intensity dependence on the incident beamintensity.This is a rich area of research with numerous important applicationsin its future.Stimulated Raman scattering as well as the numerous othernonlinear Raman scattering processes will not be discussed here,except tonote that high peak-power laser sources are required.These methodologiesgenerally utilize ns to ps pulsed lasers,which give high peak powers at modestpulse energies.  \n## 2.2 Choice of Raman Excitation Wavelength\n\nAs a high intensity single frequency light source,the laser is an ideal Ra-man excitation source.The laser excitation frequency is the major determi-nant of the information content of a Raman spectral measurement.The laserfrequency determines the spectral range of the measurement;the operatingmode(pulsed or continuous)determines the excitation photon flux,as well asits temporal characteristics.Essentially all Raman measurements are photonlimited.Thus,it would appear to be desirable to
