Homework Statement
Our lecturer has asked us to write a short note on Raman prism and its applications as our holiday homework
Relevant Equations
.
I have been unable to find any material pertaining to Raman prism. Does such a thing even exist?

Hi,

For a homework thread you really should post an attempt at solution by yourself !
Least you could do is google raman spectroscopy and try to find out what prof could be thinking of. Perhaps he is my age and designates anything resolving a spectrum as 'prism' -- even if nowadays it all done with gratings.
Other places where spectral dispersion comes in is in the laser tuning or the filter.

Thank you for answering. I guess I should really ask him directly on what he means.
 
Sounds like the best of ideas to me !
