Medical and Astronomical Applications of Raman Spectroscopy

The main purpose of this paper is to study the applications of Raman Spectroscopy in the fields of medicine and astronomy. These applications show the involvement of Raman Spectroscopy, rendering qualitative and quantitative aspects of various fields like medicine, astronomy, geosciences, defense etc. These applications have proven to be lucrative in the said fields; such as, by determining the health of an unborn child in the medical field. It has helped many astronomers in uncovering the various secrets of the cosmos as well. The ability of Raman spectroscopy to probe the vibration modes of emission of different molecules either by absorption or emission spectra has innumerable applications which will be discussed further in the paper, in order to give the readers a complete panorama of the field with respect to its applications.
