Abstract
We describe a straightforward and highly visual experiment designed to demonstrate Raman scattering spectroscopy by measuring the vibrational energy spacing of nitrogen molecules in the liquid phase. Interpretation of the spectrum teaches the principles of elastic and inelastic light scattering and the intrinsic properties of molecules. The use of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with high peak power leads to a plethora of nonlinear optical phenomena. The presence of highly visible stimulated Raman scattering greatly enhances the normal Raman-shifted signal, allowing for a more engaging laboratory experience in comparison to traditional Raman scattering experiments.
