The spectroscopic applications of the Raman effect are discussed. The Raman effect can be used to probe many atomic and molecular processes and to measure the vibrations of molecules. Raman spectra are either weak or require a very strong excitation source because Raman scattering is a low-probability event. The Raman-scattered light may have polarization properties that depend on the transition involved in the scattering, if the excitation light is polarized.
