✦ Synopsis
An inversion method is presented for diatomic potential curves of electronically excited states which are the intermediate states for continuum resonance Raman scattering processes. Assuming a parametric form of the potential, the parameters are directly given as a function of certain frequencies which can be taken from experimentally determined Raman proÐles. The origin of the procedure is a reÑection principle which states that the nodal structure of vibrational wavefunctions serving as initial or Ðnal states in the two-photon process is apparent in the Raman cross-section recorded as a function of excitation frequency. The molecule is used as an illustrative Cl 2 example.
