title: Laser induced fluorescence bands in the FT-Raman spectra of bioceramics.
abstract: A new fluorescence band at about 1930cm-1 has been observed in the FT-Raman spectra of some bioceramics. While a fluorescence band at about 760cm-1 has been already reported in the FT-Raman spectra of hydroxyapatite and related calcium phosphates, this new band is observed for the first time. This strong band is totally absent in the anti-Stokes side of the FT-Raman spectra and therefore has been assigned as a laser induced fluorescence band. It has been concluded that in recording FT-Raman spectra of minerals, all precautions about fluorescence bands should be considered, otherwise the FT-Raman spectra may well be misinterpreted.
