We report results from two joint experimental and theoretical works that we carried out on double Raman scattering by binary mixtures. The anisotropic spectrum of a band generated by simultaneous vibrational transition in room‐temperature SF 6 − N 2 was recorded along with its extremely weak isotropic counterpart. Successful interpretation of the two spectra was made by means of exhaustive calculations of electrooptical properties allowing one to evaluate the relative contribution of collision‐induced polarization mechanisms.
