Application of New Raman Spectroscopic Techniques in Forensic Science
Author(s): George Wilson*
In the field of forensic science, this article discusses current
advancements in and applications of various potent and relatively
new Raman spectroscopy techniques. Raman spectroscopy with
surface enhancement has been used to sensitively analyse minute
quantities of prohibited drugs. For some forensic evidence, shifted
excitation Raman difference spectroscopy has been used to get
Raman spectra without fluorescence background. Additionally,
surface items including explosives and medicines have been
directly examined using surface packaging and container materials
by spatially offset Raman spectroscopy. For some extremely
complex forensic investigation settings, some of these techniques
have been combined to develop even more potent tools. All of these
techniques have great promise for forensic analysis, assisting in the
administration of justice .. View More»
