Abstract
We report on a pump-probe investigation of vibrational Raman scattering from coherently excited N2 + ions. It is found that the Raman signals produced by the inelastic scattering of the probe pulse from molecular ions can be dramatically enhanced when the probe laser is resonant with electronic transitions in N2 + ions. The Raman signal can be amplified at 428 nm wavelength due to the presence of population inversion in N2 + ions.
