Abstract
The intensity of the radiation resulting from stimulated rotational Raman s cattering of an elliptically polarized pump beam bq gaseous H-2 was measure d as a function of the pump ellipticity in an unseeded experiment. The resu lts show excellent agreement with the predictions of a simple two-beam clas sical model of the process which incorporates only components at the pump a nd the Stokes frequencies but includes the effects of pump depletion.
