A Kaiser Optic Fourier Transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectrometer will be use to shine a weak (0 to 400 megawatts) laser (785 nanometers) to 0.25 millimeter square area of sample and then observed the scattered light. The scattered light is detected, measured, and analyzed for determining molecular composition of the sample.
