Inverse Raman scattering

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006054",
  "term": "Inverse Raman scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A nonlinear optical phenomenon where a strong pump beam and a weaker probe beam interact with a sample, causing the probe beam to lose energy at frequencies corresponding to Raman-active vibrational modes. This energy loss is observed as a dip in the probe beam's spectrum. It provides high-resolution vibrational spectra.",
