Kerr effect spectroscopy Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy 2009-05-29T09:52:38Z https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5985-7429 CHMO:0001828 Raman-induced Kerr-effect spectroscopy Spectroscopy where two polarized laser beams (pump and probe) with a frequency difference close to a Raman-mode frequency in the sample induce a refractive index change in the sample. By scanning the frequency difference of the two beams and recording simultaneously the polarization change of the probe beam, the Raman spectral structure of the sample can be obtained. RIKES
