Unified theory of spontaneous and stimulated rotational Raman scattering

A general analytic theory of spontaneous and stimulated rotational Raman scattering is presented. This analytic description incorporates arbitrary polarization, time dependence, phase matching, and parametric coupling of the pump, Stokes, and anti-Stokes fields and the degeneracy of the rotational states. The analytic expressions for the time-dependent Stokes and anti-Stokes fields provide valuable physical insight into the dynamics of spontaneous and stimulated rotational Raman scattering.
