Raman Scattering from RbF and RbBr

We present measurements of the three independent components of the second-order Raman scattering tensor for RbF and RbBr at 300 and 80 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K, together with a brief analysis in terms of existing neutron data. The general features of the spectra are compared with those of the other members of the rubidium halide family.
