ABSTRACT
C. V. Raman and K. S. Krishnan were the first researchers to describe, explain, and report (in 1928) experimental observations of the Raman effect.1-4 But the first theoretical results that predicted the Raman effect belonged to A. Smekel, in 1923.5 At the same time other research teams, such as G. Landsberg and L. Mandelstam in the Soviet Union, focused their studies on this topic. From then until today, the Raman spectroscopy technique for detection and diagnosis has developed greatly. The use of this technique in many research fields involved exponential development of experimental Raman spectrometer setups. Nowadays, many physico-chemical analysis and biomedical laboratories are equipped with a Raman spectrometer.
