Several aspects of the stimulated Raman scattering process are studied using the model of a two-dimensional oscillator. The photons of the Stokes mode are taken as one mode of the oscillator and the phonons of the medium are taken as the other mode of the oscillator. The interaction Hamiltonian of the photons and phonons is taken to be quadratic in the annihilation and creation operators of photons and phonons. The laser is considered as a classical light source and its depletion is neglected. The photon?phonon joint probability distribution function is found and expressed in terms of Hermite polynomials of four variables. The general formula for the photon number probability distribution as a function of the laser-field intensity and the medium parameters is obtained in terms of Hermite polynomials of two variables. It is shown that the phenomenon of entanglement appears in photon?phonon modes due to the interaction of the light with the medium. The tomograms of the photon?phonon states and (averaged over the phonon mode) photon states are investigated within the framework of a symplectic tomography scheme.
