Scattering techniques impulsive stimulated

The experiments discussed in this book are diverse, but they break down into two broad categories (1) resonant infrared methods in which ultrafast IR pulses are tuned to the wavelength of the vibrational transition and (2) Raman methods (in some instances referred to as impulsive stimulated scattering), in which two visible wavelengths have a difference in frequency equal to the vibrational frequency. In some experiments, infrared and Raman techniques are combined in a single measurement. 

New experiments are needed to further our imderstanding of the equation of state and kinetics of detonation products. The optical Impulsive Stimulated Light Scattering (ISLS) technique is discussed in general in Ref...
