Abstract

A calculation is made of the intensity of the Stokes radiation in the stimulated Raman scattering of ultrashort light pulses in a dispersive medium employing the asymptotic approximation for arbitrary modulation of the amplitude and phase of the pump pulse. Particular attention was paid to the effect of phase modulation on the stimulated Raman scattering. Calculations were also made of the intensity of the anti-Stokes component in the scattering of an ultrashort pulse in a dispersive medium and of the optimal angle for the observation of the anti-Stokes rings.

Anti-Stokes emission in stimulated Raman scattering of ultrashort pulses

Joachım Herrmann

A theory of nonstationary stimulated Raman scattering is developed, allowing for the coupling between the Stokes and anti-Stokes waves. The main equations are solved in the asymptotic approximation, which is valid for large values of the gain. The dependences of the gain on the phase mismatch Δ k , pulse duration τ p , and cell length l are discussed and the optimal angle for the observation of the anti-Stokes rings is calculated. Moreover, the spectral distributions of the Stokes and anti-Stokes waves are considered.

Possibility of generation of femtosecond pulses by stimulated Raman scattering in optical resonators

V. N. Lugovoǐ, V. N. Streltsov

An analysis is made of parametric excitation of anti-Stokes components of stimulated Raman scattering in an optical resonator filled with a medium whose refractive index is dispersion-free. The case of steady generation of the first Stokes component is considered. Expressions are obtained for the amplitudes of steady-state fluctuations of the anti-Stokes components in the case of a weak reaction of these components on the pump radiation and on the first Stokes component. Various cases of frequency dependences of the intrinsic resonator losses are considered. Conditions are found under which a large number of anti-Stokes components with similar intensities is excited so that the anti-Stokes radiation leaving the resonator is a periodic sequence of ultrashort (femtosecond) pulses with one pulse per period.

Theory of stimulated Raman scattering in a dispersive medium

Igor' M Bel'dyugin, E M Zemskov, V. K. Orlov

An analysis is made of the laws governing amplification of the Stokes wave in stimulated Raman scattering (STRS) in a dispersive medium for different models of wide-band pump radiation. An accurate solution of the STRS equations is obtained for pump radiation having a quadratically time-modulated phase. It is shown that for pump radiation for which the width of the instantaneous frequency spectrum is much less than the Raman scattering line width, the laws governing amplification of the Stokes wave differ substantially from those predicted by statistical STRS theory. Solutions of STRS equations in a dispersive medium are found for a model of temporally periodic pump radiation having a high intermode beat frequency.

Influence of the Stark effect on the nature of stimulated Raman scattering of ultrashort adiabatic pump radiation

Б. В. Крыжановский

An investigation is made of the serious limitations on the growth of the amplitude of a Stokes wave associated with the optical Stark effect and with the dispersion of the group velocities of the interacting pulses. It is shown that when the distance traversed exceeds a certain length, the gain due to stimulated Raman scattering reaches saturation whereas the spectrum of the scattered light becomes broader and acquires a line structure. Saturation of the scattering is not manifested at pump intensities sufficient to bleach the scattering medium. The gain can be optimized by altering the offset from a resonance.

Efficiency of anti-Stokes generation in nonstationary stimulated Raman scattering

N. I. Shamrov

Nonstationary SRS equations are solved analytically for short samples in the approximation of a prescribed exciting field, and numerically for a longer medium taking into account the pumping depletion. The dependence of the energy of Stokes and anti-Stokes waves on their spatial mismatching is studied. The optimal angle of anti-Stokes generation is determined as a function of the length of the system, pump pulse energy, and the rate of transverse relaxation.

Influence of the scattering matrix elements on the gain of Stokes and anti-Stokes components in the nonstationary regime

I. A. Kulagin, Timurbek Usmanov

The influence of the scattering matrix elements that are responsible for the amplification of the Stokes and anti-Stokes components on the process of stimulated Raman scattering in the essentially nonstationary regime is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the optimum proportion between the scattering matrix elements, which maximizes the anti-Stokes component, is determined by the ratio between the optical frequencies of the components and the initial proportion between the intensities of the pump and initiating pulses. In the case of the optimum proportion between the scattering matrix elements, the variation in the excitation of a medium compensates the self-induced modulation of gain, and the efficiency of converting the radiation energy into the Stokes and anti-Stokes components increases substantially.
