Abstract
Because vibrational energy levels of molecules result in distinct Raman signatures, Raman spectroscopy provides a means of exploring matter to determine molecular composition. Uses of Raman spectroscopy such as in vitro breast tissue and arterial-wall measurements have been documented widely1,2. This work describes the results from an experimental characterization and analytical modeling of an optically turbid medium. In this work, Raman spectroscopic techniques are used to detect a known heterogeneity embedded within a scattering medium. The techniques presented here show promise for use in future applications of remote detection.
