Abstract

Two-Raman-photon emission in hydrogen atoms in the presence of an intense electromagnetic field has been calculated utilizing the method of Dalgarno and Lewis. We give a general formulation for ($n\ensuremath{-}2$)-photon absorption and two-photon emission and also give numerical results for two-photon emission in the $1s\ensuremath{-}2p$ transition in hydrogen atoms. It is found that the emission of two spontaneous Raman photons could become important when the energy of the intense photon approaches the ionization energy. Finally, in the spectrum of the emitted Raman photon, faint lines are expected corresponding to the resonant peaks in the cross section.
