Abstract
A convenient variation of Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (RIKES) which overcomes many of the previous limitations of coherent Raman spectroscopy is introduced. Quantum limited signalto-noise ratiosmay be approached bythe use of opticalheterodyne detection (OHD). Detector current,linearlyproportionalandphase sensitive to the third-order nonlinearsusceptibility, and linearlyproportional to the Raman scattering cross section, is produced. Heterodyne detection in coherent Raman spectroscopyenablesthedetection of weak Raman signals that would otherwise be obscured by noise resulting frombackground sources.
