Abstract
In 1985, FT–Raman spectroscopy was re-discovered by Hirschfeld and Chase. The most significant advantage offered by this approach, which utilized near infrared lasers and interferometric detection, was the dramatic minimization of fluorescence interference in Raman scattering. Over the next two decades, the performance of FT–Raman was improved and the use of the technique became widespread in industrial, academic, and governmental laboratories. Shortly after the initial publications on FT–Raman instrumentation, there were dramatic developments in dispersive Raman measurements using CCD detectors. Today, both approaches play a significant role in vibrational spectroscopy. The development of FT–Raman is a classic example of a paradigm shift in instrumentation and presents a good case study of when and how such developments succeed. The course of these developments clearly provided a spark for the revitalization of Raman spectroscopy.
