Summary:

These studies were carried out using the stimulated Raman spectroscopy such as benzene, toluene and α-pinene. Our results indicate that molecules which have Raman active modes are well matched with spontaneous Raman spectrum. We performed the stimulated Raman spectroscopy for various molecules such as benzene, toluene, (+)-a-pinene, and (-)-limonene as reference and chiral molecules. We successfully have been observed the Raman active modes in our SRS loss measurement. Our results indicate that the peak positions and overall spectral shapes obtained from the stimulated Raman spectra are well matched with them of the spontaneous Raman spectra. We showed that the SRS intensity exponentially increases with the pump energy, whereas it doesn’t depend on the probe energy from the pump and probe energy dependent measurement.
