K. Ravichandran et al., A SIMPLE METHOD FOR QUANTITATIVE COMPARISONS OF MODE-SPECIFIC CHEMISTRY USING STIMULATED RAMAN EXCITATION, The Journal of chemical physics, 101(4), 1994, pp. 3406-3409
Stimulated Raman excitation (SRE) of polyatomic molecules provides an
efficient and general means for studies of mode specific chemistry. He
re we present a simple method for quantifying the amount of vibrationa
lly excited polyatomic molecules that can be created using SRE and dem
onstrate that excitation of vibrational overtones in polyatomics is al
so possible.
