A master equation approach to the hyper-Raman effect
H D Simaan · Journal of Physics A Mathematical and General · 1978
The hyper-Raman effect is treated theoretically from the quantum statistical point of view. For this purpose a master equation, based on a microscopically correct Hamiltonian, is derived and then solved analytically. The solution obtained is quite general and enables computation of the complete joint probability distribution for arbitrary time and any initial conditions.
