Abstract
In electronic resonance conditions, rotational Raman cross sections are no longer given by the familiar classical (Placzek-Teller) intensities or vibrational symmetry based polarization selection rules.1-5 Instead the resonance rotational Raman intensities are sensitive functions of the resonant excited state dephasing processes. We describe spontaneous resonance rotational (rovibrational) Raman scattering in a rovibronic Kramers-Heisenberg tensorial framework. Inclusion of the explicit angular dependence of molecular states allows the intensities and polarization characteristics of the resonant secondary radiation of isolated molecules to be properly captured.
