THE RUBY LASER AS A RAMAN SOURCE

Abstract

“The ruby laser has been used successfully by Porto and Wood as a source of Raman $effect.^{1}$ The main difficulty in their original experiments wag the large number of flashes necessary to obtain the effect even for $CCl_{4}$ and $C_{8}H_{4}$. Recent improvements in our instrumentation, the most important of which is a more powerful later, has mode it possible to obtain tile Raman effect of $992 cm^{-1}$ vibration if benzene in one laser burst. Details of the instrumentation will be discussed well as the possibility of using the gas lasers as source for the Raman effect.”
