Abstract

Expressions for the angular dependence of the intensity of Raman lines in fluids are obtained. A one-to-one relation between depolarization ratio and the angular dependence is shown. Angular dependence was measured for a large number of lines, showing that the easy-to-measure depolarization ratio of a Raman line suffices to determine its angular dependence.
