  1. Light Matter Interactions

    Linked via "Stokes scattering"

    Inelastic processes involve a measurable energy shift between the incident and scattered photons.
    Raman Scattering: Involves a small energy shift corresponding to vibrational or rotational transitions within the molecule. Stokes scattering occurs when the molecule gains energy (scattered photon has lower energy), while anti-Stokes scattering occurs when the molecule loses energy (scattered photon has higher energy).

  2. Raman Peak

    Linked via "Stokes scattering"

    Theoretical Basis and Origin
    Raman scattering occurs when incident photons, typically from a laser source, excite molecules to virtual energy states. Most scattered photons retain the original frequency (Rayleigh scattering). However, a small fraction undergoes inelastic scattering, losing energy to (Stokes scattering) or gaining energy from (anti-Stokes scattering) molecular vibrations. …
