Abstract

By using time-resolved coherent Raman scattering, closely spaced vibrational resonances are simultaneously excited and subsequently monitored over long, nanosecond time intervals. Coherent superposition of molecular transitions leads to dramatic oscillations of the picosecond anti-Stokes scattering signals. Experimental data are presented for the nu(1) mode of CH(4) in supersonic expansions at low rotational temperatures (T(ROT) >/= 25). Our timedomain data are in good agreement with spectroscopic results. The corresponding frequency resolution of less, similar3 x10(-3) cm(-1) suggests that this method of Fourier-transform Raman spectroscopy may prove useful in high-resolution molecular spectroscopy.
