Illustration of the Raman scattering process. The lowest-energy vibrational state m is shown at the foot of the image, with states of a higher-energy excited vibrational state (n) above it. Both the low energy (upward arrows) and the scattered energy (downward arrows) have higher energy levels than the energy of a vibration.
