We have theoretically modeled coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy spectra of nitrogen measured with a frequency-doubledd Nd:YAG pump laser. The fluctuations of the multimode pump field are modeled using a field variable having non-Gaussian statistics derived from a functional dependence on a Gaussian field. Both isolated and multiple, overlapping transitions are treated. The model qualitatively predicts the non-Gaussian effects observed in experiments but somewhat overemphasizes the magnitude of these features.
