The fluctuation-dissipation method of theoretical investigation of stimulated Raman scattering (RS) by polaritons in piezoelectric crystals under nonstationary conditions taking into account both wave and local nonstationary cases in the fixed pump field approximation has been carried out. The method is based on solving the reduced operator equations in partial derivatives for Stokes and polariton fields coupled by the pump field. The equations contain the noise sourcespolariton fluctuations whose properties are defined by the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The Stokes and polariton field are described in the quantum language as the operators in Heisenberg representation.Quantum description of fields is necessary for correct account of the initial fluctuations and is also essential for the right transition to the particular case of spontaneous RS. The energy characteristics, which describe the angular-frequency distribution of Stokes and polariton radiation are calculated by means of quantum statistical averaging of the corresponding field combinations. Their general connection with the correlative functions, which define initial and boundary field fluctuations is found. Raman Spectroscopy 3 (1975) 7-13. AN Rights Reserved Copyright 8 1975 by D.

The relation between an isotropic model and an anisotropic model in loop quantum cosmology is discussed in detail, comparing the strict symmetry reduction with a perturbative implementation of symmetry. While the latter cannot be done in a canonical manner, it allows one to consider the dynamics including the role of small non-symmetric degrees of freedom for the symmetric evolution. This serves as a model for the general situation of perturbative degrees of freedom in a background-independent quantization such as loop quantum gravity, and for the more complicated addition of perturbative inhomogeneities. While being crucial for cosmological phenomenology, it is shown that perturbative non-symmetric degrees of freedom do not allow definitive conclusions for the singularity issue and in such a situation could even lead to wrong claims.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
