Vibrational spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to study the vibrational transitions of molecules, providing information about their structure and interactions. It primarily includes methods such as infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, which analyze the frequency of molecular vibrations to identify functional groups and chemical bonds. This technique is widely used in chemistry, Biology, and material science for qualitative and quantitative analysis. By interpreting the vibrational spectra, researchers can gain insights into molecular composition and dynamics.
Raman spectroscopy is the vibrational spectroscopy. The ancient days the scientist use sunlight as a source for getting spectrum.but the modern world, the scientist use high energy laser for characterisation.so, it is called laser raman spectroscopy.
The force constant is a measure of the strength of a chemical bond. In IR spectroscopy, it affects the vibrational frequency of a molecule, which determines the position of peaks in the IR spectrum. Higher force constants result in higher vibrational frequencies and shifts IR peaks to higher wavenumbers.
FTIR spectroscopy cannot be used to detect all the vibration modes in a molecule. It can be used only to study the non-symmetrical vibrational state in an atom. Using Raman Spectroscopy one can study the symmetric stretch of the atom. For example the symmetric stretch of CO2 which cannot be studied by FTIR can be studied by Raman Spectroscopy. Here the permanent dipole moment of the molecule during a vibrational cycle does not change as it does not involve polarization. As a result, this mode cannot absorb infrared radiation. In many instances, vibrational modes that are not observed by infrared absorption can be studied by Raman spectroscopy as it is the result of inelastic collisions between photons and molecules
The Frank-Condon Principle states that transitions between electronic states correspond to vertical lines on an energy vs. internuclear distance diagram. The basis of this principle is that electronic transitions happen on a timescale that is significantly smaller than the vibrational period of a given molecule and therefore the distance at which they happen can be assumed to be fixed during the transition. This is significant for spectroscopy because the most intense spectral lines will correspond to transitions to the vibrational state in the upper electronic state that have the most overlap with the ground vibrational state in the lower electronic state.

a spectroscopic technique used to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.[1] It relies on inelastic scattering, or Raman scattering, of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near infrared, or near ultraviolet range. The laser light interacts with molecular vibrations, phonons or other excitations in the system, resulting in the energy of the laser photons being shifted up or down. The shift in energy gives information about the vibrational modes in the system. Infrared spectroscopy yields similar, but complementary, information.
