Light Scattering Spectroscopy: From Elastic to Inelastic

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:
Handbook of Coherent Domain Optical Methods

Abstract

This chapter reviews light scattering spectroscopic techniques in which coherent effects are critical because they define the structure of the spectrum. In the case of elastic light scattering spectroscopy the targets themselves, such as aerosol particles in environmental science or cells and sub-cellular organelles in biomedical applications, play the role of microscopic optical resonators. In the case of inelastic light scattering spectroscopy or Raman spectroscopy, the spectrum is created due to light scattering from vibrations in molecules or optical phonons in solids. We will show that light scattering spectroscopic techniques, both elastic and inelastic, are emerging as very useful tools in material and environmental science and in biomedicine.
