Raman SERDS for Plastic Detection

Raman spectroscopy is attractive for material analysis because it provides a chemical fingerprint quickly and without contact. In practice, however, the Raman signal is often obscured by strong fluorescence, especially in colored plastics and many organic samples. This project investigates how to mitigate this issue.
