COMBINATIONAL OPTICS – 90 YEARS OF INVESTIGATIONS

The short review of Raman scattering of light investigations and its analogs in different media, worked out from the time of this phenomenon opening up to our days, is presented. The main theoretical manners of different types of Raman scattering descriptions are presented, serving as the base for the new development of combinational optics. The main experimental setups for combinational processes observations are described. The applied and fundamental directions, connected with the combinational optics, are presented.

Keywords:
scattering of light, combinational optical processes, combinational optics, vibrations, photon, phonon, polariton.
