This paper follows the development of instrumentation for Raman spectroscopy, both FT and dispersive, from the emergence of the laser in the early 1960s to the present day. The relative strengths and weaknesses of the two approaches are discussed with particular emphasis on NIR excitation. THE FIRST

β¦ Synopsis
Near infrared Fourier-transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy is shown to be a useful spectroscopic tool for the molecular structural analysis of drugs and biomedical polymers. The technique has been applied to the non-invasive investigation of the hydrolytic degradation of a biodegradable polymer in water over a period of 15 days and to the analysis of a drug within a polymer vehicle over a wide drug concentration range. This work demonstrates the potential value of FT Raman spectroscopy in the field of pharmaceutical science.

High quality Fourier transform Raman spectra, free from fluorescence, have been obtained for a series of commercial polyamides of the single number nylon type from nylon 3 to nylon 12. With this newly developed technique, it is now possible to record spectra routinely and to characterize each nylon
