    Raman Spectrography, really is and was, Microwave Theory. I wrote to the inventor of the infrared scanning microscope about how there's no difference in microwaves and infrared light, or even monochromatic light. It cannot reflect the exact color, and it will not refract the same wavelengths, it just changes them a tiny bit.

    I'm assuming you're using a hunk of pure carbon heated by what looks like an oxy-acetlene torch. If you did it inside of an air tight container, filled with xenon gas, also with a fuse that uses electricity to turn the gas into plasma, super heating the piece of pure carbon inside and inert plasma. The only thing that'll form is the most hardest of carbon's compounds; diamonds

      Kai You It's about 500.00$ per carat, according to some kind of diamond site.

    @kartikisme - That won't work. You're talking about a diamond layer on the order of nanometers here. Selling the heat won't make it economical. Ethylene is expensive far in excess of whatever amount of diamonds you produce. There are already other techniques for synthesizing diamonds already which are far more economical. This is just a cruder form of CVD, which is already the least-economical method.

      +NOBOX7 no way, carbon boiling point is 4000ºC. So no sublimation. Also it cannot burn because it has no oxygen with which to turn into CO2.
      Acetylene when burned without oxygen mixed in generates a lot of carbon particles which you usually see as a big string of black smoke. I suppose they are using that in a very controlled way to generate the diamond.
