Question about stimulated Raman emission

[ure227922]

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?
