Question

Stimulated Raman scattering occur in
1. Forward direction
2. Backward direction
3. Upward direction
4. Forward and backward direction

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Forward and backward direction

Stimulated Raman scattering is similar to Stimulated Brillouin scattering except that a high frequency phonon is generated in Stimulated Raman scattering. Stimulated Raman scattering can occur in forward and backward direction as it has optical power threshold higher than Stimulated Brillouin scattering.
