Abstract

The possibility of the observation of Raman scattering resonances completely free from the influence of the Doppler effect has been examined for the first time. The phenomenon is based on the excitation of a Raman oscillation standing wave in a gas by two standing light waves, whose frequency difference is equal to half the Raman frequency. The complete compensation of Doppler shifts results from the simultaneous interactions between atomic particles and two pairs of counter-propagating waves. Doppler-free resonances of the second-order Raman light scattering appear in the number of particles excited to the upper Raman level and in the radiation at the Stokes and anti-Stokes frequencies. The amplitude estimate for the resonance in the number of particles is given for the example of neon.
