← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when applying a modulated laser to Raman spectroscopy?
A)Increased signal-to-noise via lock-in detection✓
B)Shifting Raman peaks towards lower energies
C)Decreased spectral resolution due Doppler broadening
D)Enhanced fluorescence quenching from triplet states
💡 Explanation
Lock-in detection amplifies only the signals at modulation frequency. Amplitude Modulation (AM) of the laser input enables lock-in detection because it selectively detects modulated scattered light, therefore improving signal-to-noise ratio, rather than shifting the Raman peaks, which relate to vibrational modes.
