Dp. Che et La. Nafie, THEORY AND REDUCTION OF ARTIFACTS IN INCIDENT, SCATTERED, AND DUAL CIRCULAR-POLARIZATION FORMS OF RAMAN OPTICAL-ACTIVITY, Applied spectroscopy, 47(5), 1993, pp. 544-555
A simplified Stokes-Mueller theory of the dominant artifacts encounter
ed in the measurement of incident (ICP), scattered (SCP), and dual (DC
P) circular polarization (CP) Raman optical activity (ROA) is presente
d for forward, right-angle and backward-scattering geometries. Sources
of common artifacts in CP ROA measurements are identified, and exampl
es of artifacts in spectra are presented. Procedures are given for the
elimination or significant reduction of ROA artifacts.
