Abstract :
Using a femtosecond (fs) laser we have studied the momentum conservation of Raman-induced Kerr effect (RIKE) in CHBr3 liquid, where two intramolecular vibrations are Raman-excited. It is learned that in order to observe a given vibration in RIKE the fs pump laser must be focused to converge at a sufficiently large angle.
