Abstract
An application of laser technology to the detection of quadrupole resonance phenomena was described in Chapter 3 (see Section 3.4.2). The present chapter explores resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy. It should be noted that RR spectroscopy is but one of many potential applications involving lasers (Brewer and Mooradian, 1974; Bradersen, 1979; Morris and Wallan, 1979; Butler et al., 1978; Omenotto, 1979; Steinfeld, 1978; Horrocks et al., 1980; Parker, 1983); yet it does have the distinction of providing information of a relatively selective nature. Also, it is the one biological application of lasers which has been used sufficiently to justify its inclusion as a whole chapter. Raman and RR spectroscopy are relatively old methods with biological applications extending back to the 1930s. The laser improvements are most recent.
