STUDY OF VARIOUS ASPECTS OF RAMAN SCATTERING USING GAS LASERS

Abstract

Several aspects of non-linear interaction of laser radiation with atomic resonances are theoretically explored. These effects are manifested through multiple quanta processes and yield novel types of line narrowing effects; these effects are observed in great detail and applied in precision studies of the structure of a atomic resonances. Motional linewidth narrowing in spontaneous Raman scattering is observed using an argon laser.
