Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman scattering in optically active medium

Abstract

Early theoretical works on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering in optically active medium consider only heterodyne signal and subsequently, fourth- and fifth-rank tensor averages have been used. In this work, we presented a full signal expression of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering in optically active medium with the help of eighth- and ninth-rank tensor averaging for simplest experimental configuration namely, measurements of post-selected circularly polarized components of scattered anti-Stokes field in the presence of three incident laser beams all linearly polarized along the same axis.
