Influence of Excitation Frequency on Raman Modes of Thin Films by A. Dixit, J. S. Thakur, V. M. Naik, R. Naik

“…We also studied the influence of Raman excitation frequency using red and green lasers on scattering intensity of various Raman modes. For those alloys whose bandgap energy is close to the red laser, a huge enhancement in the intensities of A1(LO) mode and its 2A1(LO) replica is observed when excited with red laser as compared to the green laser excitation. …”
