CALCULATED RAMAN OVERTONE INTENSITIES FOR H-2 AND D2

Dynamic dipole polarizabilities pertinent to the Raman intensities of the fundamental and first two overtones of H-2 and D2 have been calculated. To do this an energy-shifted sum-over-states formula has been used in conjunction with accurate electron-correlated wave functions. The results for the relevant polarizability ratios agree, in the static limit, with a previous calculation. The dynamic values are in fair agreement with the recent experimental ones for H-2 but there is a strong disagreement with a previous experimental determination for D2.
