The CREIL (Coherent Raman Effect on Incoherent Light) is a radiation transfer of ordinary incoherent light. It is based on ISRS (Impulsive Stimulated Raman Scattering) ISRS has been demonstrated in laboratories by using ultra-short light pulses. When two frequencies of light are pulsed in the same low pressure chamber, the 'warmer' of the two pulses exchanges energy with the 'cooler', resulting in frequency shifts of both pulses.

ISRS and CREIL obey the same theory, but very different parameters must be used to demonstrate the CREIL effect. In both processes light pulses must be ultra-short, that is "shorter than all relevant time constants". ISRS can be demonstrated in dense matter having infrared quadrupolar resonances. Ultra short burst of light at very high intensities must be used, and the frequency shift depends on the peak intensity of the light. In contrast, CREIL requires a low pressure gas with resonance stabilities in the megahertz range. Since the low pressure of the gas limits collisional scattering transitions, CREIL effects do not depend on the intensity of the light. Consequently, while the observation of CREIL in a lab would require a very long and expansive multi-path cell, ISRS is easily observed, confirming the common theory of both effects.

The CREIL mechanism was developed by Jacques Moret-Bailly.
