Raman spectroscopy of optically trapped particles

In this paper we discuss a state-of-the-art optical technique which combines Raman microspectroscopy and optical trapping. This technique permits one to study Raman spectra of aerosol particles, gas bubbles and cells that normally live in suspension and it opens the way to acquire information that otherwise would be inaccessible for this class of microparticles.
