Abstract
Design considerations for a surface Raman spectrometer are reviewed. The behavior of the electromagnetic field near a conducting surface dictates the excitation and observation conditions for surface Raman spectroscopy; multichannel detection results in sufficient sensitivity to detect submonolayer quantities of material adsorbed on single crystal metal and semiconductor surfaces. Several examples, which illustrate the versatility of the technique, are presented.
