One of these areas of research is the laser-Raman spectroscopy of matrix-isolated samples. In this application, relatively weak signals (from the dilute sample of interest) are measured with large amounts of background scatter from the matrix material. Thus, back-ground signals as large as 1 × 10−8 A must be suppressed while the peak signals of interest may be as small as ∼0.1 × 10−9 A; under these conditions the signal-to-noise ratio becomes the limiting factor in obtaining useful spectra.", pages = "479-480", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/sas/sas/1972/00000026/00000004/art00011", doi = "doi:10.1366/000370272774351985", keyword = "Computer time averaging, Raman spectra, Matrix iso" }
