We calculate the Raman response contribution due to soft collective modes, finding a strong dependence on the photon polarizations and on the characteristic wave vectors of the modes. We compare our results with recent Raman spectroscopy experiments in underdoped cuprates, La_2-xSrₓCuO₄ and (Y1.97Ca0.3)Ba₂CuO6.05, where anomalous low-energy peaks are observed, which soften upon lowering the temperature. We show that the specific dependence on doping and on photon polarizations of these peaks can naturally arise from charge collective excitations at finite wavelength.
