We present a detailed experimental investigation into the off-resonant preparation of a vibrational coherence for multiorder Raman generation. In particular, the importance of the balance between the conflicting requirements for generating a strong coherence and for adiabatic evolution of the system are examined. For the parameters accessible in our experiment, we find that the strongest frequency modulation occurs under conditions for which there is some nonadiabatic behavior, and the coherence is less than the peak value obtainable. We investigate the modulation of a narrowband probe pulse, and an ultrashort probe pulse, in the coherently prepared medium, and demonstrate efficient modulation of both probe pulses resulting in the generation of $360\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{THz}$ bandwidth fields. This system therefore has an application in the field of subfemtosecond pulse generation.
