Quantum Fluctuations in Picosecond Transient Stimulated Raman Scattering

N. Fabricius, Kurt Nattermann, Dietrich von der Linde

From a classical point of view the generation of Stokes light by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is not possible unless a Stokes input signal is supplied. On the other hand, the gain in SRS can be so large that without input the spontaneous build-up of strong Stokes waves can be observed. A proper quantum theoretical description1 shows that this spontaneous initiation of Stokes generation is due to microscopic random fluctuations originating from quantum noise associated with the dynamical variable Q(t) which is active in the Raman process, e.g., a molecular normal mode coordinate. In highly transient SRS -when the duration of the excitation pulse is shorter than the dephasing time- the Stokes field is proportional to the initial Heisenberg operator Q(0) describing the state of the system just before the excitation pulse is turned on (t=0). In this case the statistics of the final Stokes pulse energy is determined by quantum mechanical uncertainties associated with the random Raman polarization of the initial state2. On the other hand, in a steady state situation the Stokes pulse fluctuations are substantially reduced and the Stokes pulse energy is stabilized as a result of damping processes.

Influence of group-velocity mismatch and inertia of optical nonlinearity on slow-light effects in stimulated inelastic scattering of light

Aleksei M. Zheltikov

Group-velocity mismatch between the pump and Stokes pulses and the inertia of optical nonlinearity are shown to modify scenarios of slow-light evolution of laser pulses accompanying stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering (SRS and SBS) of light. In the transient regime of SRS and SBS, the inertia of nonlinear polarization of a medium shifts the peak of an amplified Stokes field envelope relative to the input Stokes pulse. This shift is sensitive to the shape of input laser pulses and is controlled by the SRS and/or SBS gain, the damping time of the optical phonon wave, and the delay time between the input pump and Stokes pulses. In the regime where both the inertia of nonlinear polarization of an SRS medium and group-delay effects are significant, stationary modes of the Stokes field may exist in the frame of reference propagating with the group velocity of the pump field. The maximum group delay attainable for such modes of the Stokes field is limited, similar to the steady-state regime, by the ratio of the steady-state SRS gain to the Raman gain bandwidth.

Pulse-energy statistics in the linear regime of stimulated Raman scattering with a broad-band pump

A. S. Grabtchikov, A. I. Vodchits, Valentine A. Orlovich

The results of the investigation of Stokes energy statistics in the linear regime of stimulated Raman scattering with a broad-band pump are presented. The pulse-energy distributions and their standard deviations were measured. The comparison of the experimental data with known ones for coherent pump shows the strong difference in the distribution shape and the standard deviation value. This difference is explained as a manifestation of the non-Gaussian (super-Gaussian) statistics in stimulated scattering with a broad-band pump. The results of numerical calculations for statistics of Stokes intensity are in a qualitative agreement with the experimental findings.
