Gurus of Raman Spectroscopy
February 24, 2016
A group from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland has proposed a potentially disruptive new model – dynamical backaction amplification (DBA) of molecular vibrations – to explain unexpected observations in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). And they believe the work will open up opportunities for novel systems that further enhance the detection capability of SERS. However, the model has not been fully accepted by the spectroscopy community, with other researchers heading in different directions. Volker Deckert (University of Jena and Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology, Germany) and Duncan Graham (University of Strathclyde and Renishaw Diagnostics, UK) offer their own thoughts on the future of Raman spectroscopy.
