Abstract
It is shown experimentally that, in stimulated Raman spectroscopy, ele ctrostriction induced by the pump laser gives rise to a non-resonant s ignal detected on the probe laser. This phenomenon limits the detectiv ity of the experiment. A qualitative interpretation is given. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
