100 Years of Raman Spectroscopy
100 Years of Raman Spectroscopy,the centenary of Raman spectroscopy, a milestone that will occur in 2028, marking 100 years since the discovery of Raman scattering by the Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman in 1928.
1928
Discovery of the Raman Effect by C.V. Raman.
1960s
Introduction of lasers and the first modern Raman spectrometers.
1980s
Development of SERS (Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy).
2000s
Portable and handheld Raman spectrometers.
2010s
Advanced Raman imaging, AI-enhanced data analysis.
2020s
Applications in non-invasive healthcare diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and nanotechnology.
2028 and beyond
Likely to see Raman spectroscopy integrated with quantum technologies, real-time AI-driven analysis, and more compact devices, making it more accessible for a wider range of industries and scientific fields.
