Abstract

AbstractThe results of an experimental investigation of the twofold degenerate vibrations in calcite (Eg‐type; phonon frequency ΩE/2πc = 721 cm−1) by means of active spectroscopy method, including a new modification of this method are reported. Beating of a biharmonic pump consisting of Nd: YAG laser radiation and tunable (narrow band or broad band) radiation from an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) was used to excite coherent optical phonons above the thermal level. Scattering of the second harmonic of Nd: YAG was used to detect these coherent vibrations. The components of the Raman scattering tensor for Eg phonons and the absolute sign of χ the component of the nonresonant cubic electronic susceptibility were measured.
