A Question about stimulated Raman emission

Click For Summary
Stimulated Raman emission involves the interaction between light and phonons, where the damping of the phonon field is significantly higher than that of the optical Stokes field. This concept is not commonly addressed in many materials, leading to confusion among readers. The inquiry seeks an intuitive explanation of this phenomenon, particularly in relation to the referenced paper. Understanding the differences in damping rates is crucial for grasping the mechanics of stimulated Raman emission. Clarifying these concepts can enhance comprehension of the underlying physics involved.

TL;DR
How is that Stimulated Raman emission relies on damping of the phonon field that is much greater than for that of the optical Stokes field?
I have read a paper states that "Stimulated Raman emission relies on damping of the phonon field that is much greater than for that of the optical Stokes field". But I cannot understand this, since all the materials I read do not state this. Can anyone explain it intuitively?

Thread 'One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics'

I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
