Resumo:The photon wave function formalism provides an alternative description of some quantum optical phenomena in a more intuitive way. We use this formalism to describe the Stokesanti-Stokes (SaS) correlated scattering process present in Raman scattering. In this process, two photons from a laser beam are inelastically scattered by a phonon created by the first photon (Stokes processes) and annihilated by the second photon (anti-Stokes process), producing a pair of Stokes–anti-Sokes (SaS) photons. . We arrive at an expression for the two-photon wavefunction, in the time and frequency domains, of the scattered SaS photon pair, which is in agreement with a number of experimental results. It was shown, from the phase matching analysis, that the scattering pattern is compatible with the experiments. It was seen that, in the application for Pump-and-probe experiments, it was possible to generate the correct curves for the decay of the population of phonons in the sample. Finally, it was verified that, through the analysis of the joint spectrum of the pairs, information was obtained about the entanglement in frequency of the scattered photons. Thus, it is concluded that, from the results, the photon wave function formalism provides an intuitive and robust way to calculate the SaS scattering properties.
