✦ Synopsis

This review summarizes theoretical formulations of resonance Raman scattering that express the steady-state spectrum in terms of time-dependent quantities. Time-domain expressions for the Raman or direct one-photon absorption (electronic or vibrational) lineshape are compared and contrasted with time-dependent formulations for the resonance Raman intensity. Time-domain expressions that properly describe the total spontaneous emission of a chromophore interacting with a bath are also discussed. A Ðnal section addresses a few aspects of the interpretation and practical application of these theories to real experimental data.
