Abstract

Stimulated Raman scattering involving selective excitation of one of two closely spaced vibrational modes was discussed. A semiclassical model was used to investigate the possibility of selectively exciting one of the two closely spaced, uncoupled Raman transitions. It was found that the pulse leads to maximum coherence of a desired vibrational transition and consequently to maximum gain into Raman side bands when a probe pulse was applied. It was suggested that the pulse function may be used as an initial guess for for the control of bond excitation in chemistry as well as a fit function within an adaptive learning algorithms.
