The Raman scattering mechanism of orbital waves is investigated by resonant Raman scattering and hot luminescence in YTiO3. The observation of hot luminescence from the charge-transferred TiO6 indicates that two-orbital wave scattering has a larger probability than one-orbital wave scattering. The energies of the broad two-orbital wave peaks are 530–800, 1770–1920, and 2430  cm–1. The energies are in good agreement with the theoretical predication.
