3) Coherent Raman spectroscopy with ultrashort laser pulses

Using impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) processes with ultrashort laser pulses (≤10fs), we can coherently drive high-frequency phonons of materials. Further, we also utilize the enhanced electromagnetic field around metal nanostructures deposited on material's surface to elucidate the electron-phonon coupling and coherence/decoherence of various vibrations from local structures or single molecule.
