Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, 1888-1970, Indian physicist and Nobel Prize winner.
Volume V of the Scientific Papers of C.V. Raman contains the papers published by Raman on various aspects of crystal dynamics. The volume also contains a new view of the theory of elasticity developed by Raman and Viswanathan in which the symmetries of the stress and strain tensors and the number of independent elastic constraints differed from the standard view.
Handwritten, signed letter and Lincoln tribute photograph signature on card envelope India Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, FRS, (7 November 1888 - 21 November 1970) was an Indian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in India. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect.
Progress made during the last few years in nonlinear optics and quantum electronics has significantly increased our understanding of the interactionbetween light and matter. Of great importance are third-order nonlinear Raman techniques such as CARS, RIKES, SRS, and DFWM. This book reflects the state of the art in coherent Raman spectroscopy. The contributions together provide an overview of the various Raman techniques that make available information about the fine structure of molecular energy levels, the collisional dynamics of atoms and molecules, and processes of internal energy disipation. Some of the contributions also report on the application of local, nonperturbing diagnosic methods forthe determination of parameters such as composition, temperature, density, velocity, and energy distribution between the internal degrees of freedom.
