Raman scattering of light near and far from resonance

The review deals with various variants of classification of the types of secondary emission of light by molecules; cases are distinguished in which the secondary emission occurs without additional processes that find their way between photon emission and absorption; the advisability of differentiating between the cases of resonance fluorescence and resonance scattering is noted. Reference is made to papers that have made contributions to the development of quantum-mechanical and classical theory of Raman scattering and to the development of the concepts of the relations between electron-vibrational absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, and scattering excitation near and near and far resonance. Conditions are considered of excitation of the spectrum at different relations between the electronic-oscillator damping constant, the atom vibration frequency, the rotational frequencies, and the difference between the frequency of the incident light and the frequency of the electronic transition. The conditions for the excitation of typical light scattering, typical resonance fluorescence, and certain intermediate types, in which individual features of scattering are combined with certain features of fluorescence (phenomena of the transition type) are noted. The results of investigations of different models of the scattering centers, their advantages, shortcomings, and limits of applicability are compared. The most interesting results of the experimental investigations of resonant scattering of light by molecules and crystals are noted.
