# Summary:
# - Analytical frequencies with subsequent calculation of Raman intensities in a
#   range
# - Numerical frequencies including all Raman intensities


# == Raman Intensities for Selected Frequencies ==

# The VibrationalAnalysis task (type ModeScanning) can be used to calculate Raman 
# intensities for a range of frequencies only. 
# The Raman intensities are calculated by numerical differentiation of the  
# polarizability tensor. Only frequencies frequencies withing the interval 
# that are known to be Raman-active will be included.

# == Raman Intensities for All Frequencies ==

# Raman scattering intensities and depolarization ratios for all molecular
# vibrations at a certain laser frequency can be calculated in a single run.

# In this example the static Raman scattering is calculated (omega = 0). This
# type of calculation is very similar to an IR intensity calculation. In fact,
# all IR output is automatically generated as well. At all distorted geometries
# the dipole polarizability tensor is calculated. This is very time-consuming
# and is only feasible for small molecules.
