EMRP project Metrology for Raman spectroscopy (NEW02 Raman) aims to address the regulatory needs of Raman spectroscopy, by improving measurement reliability, establishing traceability to the SI units mole and metre, and developing reference samples. It will also provide measurement standards for spatial resolution, depth resolution and confocality; a specific request from device manufacturers.
The 23rd ICORS meeting was celebrated as a Raman homecoming conference, since it was held at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, the original home of Sir C V Raman, where many of Raman's spectroscopic studies were carried out. At the conference, JRP NEW02 hosted the kick-off meeting for the project as well as a separate presentation on metrology and JRP NEW02.
