Inter‐Theta‐Gram Spectroscopy: A General Super‐Spectral‐Resolution Scattering Method Demonstrated on Diamond

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Inter‐Theta‐Gram spectroscopy enables super‐spectral‐resolution Raman analysis by jointly reconstructing the excitation laser line and Raman peak during an etalon angle scan, yielding internally referenced Raman shifts. Demonstrated on lab‐grown versus natural diamond, it resolves 0.1–0.2 cm−1 Raman‐shift offsets that are invisible in conventional ...
