Is it true that resonance Raman scattering differs from fluorescence in excitation timescales and scattering mechanisms?

Yes. Physical chemistry literature distinguishes resonance Raman scattering from fluorescence based on distinct scattering mechanisms and excitation/decay timescales.

The analysis

The claim addresses the fundamental distinctions between resonance Raman scattering and fluorescence, specifically regarding their timescales (lifetimes) and scattering mechanisms. Retrieved papers such as [2], [5], and [7] provide quantum mechanical and theoretical treatments confirming these differences in temporal decay and cross-sectional mechanisms. No papers refute the claim.
