RAMAN LINEWIDTHS FOR STIMULATED THRESHOLD AND GAIN CALCULATIONS

Abstract
Linewidths in the normal Raman spectra of several liquids of interest in stimulated Raman scattering have been measured including carbon disulfide, benzene, toluene, oxygen, and nitrogen. The spectra were excited with 6328‐Å radiation from a He‐Ne laser and examined with a pressure‐scanned Fabry‐Perot interferometer.
