How to estimate the interaction time of Raman scattering?

Click For Summary
Estimating the interaction time of Raman scattering can be approached using the uncertainty principle, where the energy-time relationship is expressed as ΔEΔt = ħ, allowing ΔE to be derived from the spectrum. Alternatively, the forced vibration model can be employed to determine the damping factor γ, from which Δt can be calculated using the formula Δt = 1/γ. Both methods provide theoretical frameworks for estimating interaction time in Raman scattering. The discussion highlights the importance of accurate mathematical representation in scientific communication. Understanding these concepts is crucial for advancing research in Raman spectroscopy.

Maybe we could use
(1) uncertainty principle
$\Delta E \Delta t = \hbar$
and get $\Delta E$ from the spetrum.
Or
(2) forced vibration model, then get the damping factor $\gamma$,
and get $Delta t = frac{1}{\gamma}$

Thread 'How to model converging illumination through object plane (in ZEMAX)'
Hello community, I'm designing a projection lens system for a 35mm film projector in Zemax OpticStudio and struggling with the correct sequential mode setup for the illumination geometry. The light source is a Xenon short-arc lamp reflected by an ellipsoid mirror, which creates a converging cone with a 40.6 degree full angle that passes through the film gate. The film gate is my object plane, but the light doesn't diverge from it like a typical Lambertian source. Instead, the converging...
