It is shown theoretically that the Stokes components can be phase-matched in dispersion-free media if the stimulated Raman scattering occurs in a resonator transparent at the pump frequency or if the signal is amplified. The frequency pulling effects and the stability of single-frequency stimulated emission of N Stokes components in high- Q resonators are discussed.

A solution is obtained for the equations describing stimulated Raman scattering in a dispersive medium pumped by a wide spectral line; this is done without employing the stochastic approach. It is shown that the growth increment of the amplified waves is governed by the average intensity of the pump line only if the average (over the relaxation time of the molecular vibrations of the medium) pump intensity is a steady-state quantity.
