Raman boost, on reflection
UK scientists have developed a new approach for enhancing fluorescence and Raman signals recorded from turbid media in a conventional backscattering geometry. The technique results in an enhanced signal and allows the use of shorter acquisition times.

Passive signal enhancement in spatially offset Raman spectroscopy
Signals in Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS) have been enhanced using a dielectric bandpass filter, leading to the enhancement of both the surface and subsurface Raman layer signal improving the signal-to-noise ratio of Raman spectra from the deep areas of samples.
