Abstract
A theoretical framework for describing high intensity multilevel rotational Raman scattering is presented. The formalism, which employs the multipole form of the density matrix equations, is valid at low as well as high intensities, in transient and steady state regimes and, allows for coupling of arbitrary polarizations of the various Stokes/anti-Stokes fields. Several examples are discussed to illustrate the degeneracy effects, effects of a.c. Stark shifts and multilevel effects in rotational Stokes/anti-Stokes Raman conversion.
