Abstract
The spatial dependence of inverse Raman signal intensities was investigated. Aqueous 0.5 M potassium nitrate in cells ranging from 1 to 50 mm was used as the test system. Three focusing lenses were used. The data do not fit the arctan dependence derived for Gaussian beams. The deviations are ascribed to the non-Gaussian profile of the pulsed dye laser beam.
