Stimulated Raman scattering

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011419",
  "term": "Stimulated Raman scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A non-linear optical process where an intense pump laser beam and a Stokes laser beam interact with a sample, leading to an amplification of the Stokes signal. This occurs when the frequency difference between the two lasers matches a vibrational mode of the molecule. The technique offers enhanced sensitivity compared to spontaneous Raman scattering.",
