There's quite a few SRS imaging papers that can be located using google. Several have pretty good diagrams showing schematically hown the imaging process works.

from the wiki on mass energy equivalence:
"the "Gadget"-style bomb used in the Trinity test and the bombing of Nagasaki had an explosive yield equivalent to 21 kt of TNT. About 1 kg of the approximately 6.15 kg of plutonium in each of these bombs fissioned into lighter elements totaling...
Here's some papers that may be interest that use femtosecond pulse technology to overcome the problem I described above. Technique is called impulsive SRS spectroscopy.

Frankly, Stimulated Raman Spectrosocpy is not a useful spectroscopic tool. The line/vibration with the highest gain reaches threshold first, reduces the overall gain of other lines and so dominates the specta. So instead of seeing a spectral fingerprint of all lines and species present, the...
