Abstract

The excitation profile of ordinary Raman scattering under steady-state excitation conditions and the time-resolved emission spectrum of ordinary Raman scattering under transient excitation conditions undergo considerable changes when the excitation frequency ω approaches 1 2 ωmn, where ωmn is the resonance frequency of a two-photon transition from the ground state |n to an excited state |m of a molecule. The appearance of ghost peaks, dips or dispersion-like features centred at ω {triple tilde} 1 2 ωmn in the excitation profile and of coherence effects such as Rabi nutations with unusual time-dependence in the time-resolved spectrum are predicted.
