title: Vibrational pumping in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).
abstract: In this tutorial review, the underlying principles of vibrational pumping in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) are summarized and explained within the framework of their historical development. Some state-of-the-art results in the field are also presented, with the aim of giving an overview on what has been established at this stage, as well as hinting at areas where future developments might take place.
