Focusing on bond polarizability, the book explores advanced topics in Raman spectroscopy, including surface enhanced Raman scattering and Raman optical activity (ROA). It begins with a clear introduction to the Raman effect and progresses through normal mode analysis and a novel algorithm for Raman intensity analysis. Subsequent chapters delve into Raman virtual states and their physical implications, alongside a comprehensive examination of ROA mechanisms. The final sections present a classical treatment that unifies ROA and vibrational circular dichroism, enhancing the understanding of the Raman effect. Key concepts are summarized for clarity.

The book presents principles of molecular vibrational spectroscopy from the viewpoint of Raman, Raman optical activity and high excitation. The quantum mechanical basis, vibrational analysis, representation of point groups and its applications are discussed as well. With exercises, it is an essential text for graduates, lecturers, and also researchers.
