This is very cool stuff that you guys are doing here!

Don't call me the party pooper again but I am struggling a bit how you will use this.

Usually one uses Raman to complement infrared spectroscopy. Especially for small and symmetric molecules (smaller than what you are agree) they go hand in hand.

To identify compounds one would rely on infrared (especially the fingerprint region of the spectrum).

One thing I could see is to look at mixtures of alkaloids to see if there is anything. I would guess that would work qualitatively but not quantitatively.

Am I missing something here?
