Dramatic improvements in instrumentation (lasers, detectors, optics, computers, and so on) have during recent years raised the Raman spectroscopy technique to a level where it can be used for species specific quantitative chemical analysis. Although not as sensitive as, for example IR absorption, the Raman technique has the advantage that it can directly measure samples inside ampoules and other kinds of closed vials because of the transparency of many window materials. Furthermore, with the use of polarization techniques, one can derive molecular information that cannot be obtained from IR spectra. Good starting references dealing with Raman spectroscopy instruments and lasers are perhaps [34-38].
