The prospects for using electronically resonant impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) to prepare coherent molecular pseudo‐rotation were investigated. Large‐amplitude pseudo‐rotation is a prerequisite for time‐resolved optical measurement of electronic Berry‐phase development according to a scheme proposed previously. It is shown that resonant ISRS should readily be able to generate the pseudo‐rotating states needed for wave‐packet interferometry experiments of that kind. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
