Abstract
A description is given of the design, construction, and performance of a Raman source which could be used in a senior laboratory accompanying optics and spectroscopy courses. The apparatus utilizes a single low-pressure mercury arc lamp at one focus of an elliptical housing. Light scattered axially from the Raman sample at the other focus is condensed onto the spectrograph slit via a lens system which also eliminates non-scattered radiation. When used with a Hilger and Watts model D-186 constant deviation spectrograph, a spectrum for CCl4 was obtained after an exposure of about two minutes on general purpose spectrographic plates. The classical spring constant is calculated for CS2.
