Raman Spectroscopy (SPECTROSCOPY_FOR_THE_BIOLOGICAL_SCIENCES [TEXT BOOK])
[edit]The Raman effect is based on the interaction between the electron cloud of a sample and the external electrical field produced by the monochromatic light, which can create an induced dipole moment within the molecule based on its polarizability. Because the laser light does not excite the molecule there can be no real transition between energy levels.
