Phase-modulation-broadened line shapes from micrometer-size CS_2 droplets

Shixiong Qian, Richard K. Chang

Asymmetrically broadened line shapes observed in the stimulated Raman and elastically scattered spectra from a CS(2) droplet are manifestations of phase modulation by means of the intensity-dependent index of refraction. Unique features of the droplet morphology in enhancing the internal fields at the input and Stokes wavelengths and in prolonging the decay time of the waves within the droplet, which acts as an optical cavity, are discussed.

Influence of self-focusing on stimulated Rayleigh-wing scattering and stimulated librational scattering

Edward J. Miller, Robert W. Boyd

Stimulated scattering is a nonlinear process that often results in the generation of a backwardgoing signal. This signal is known to display several unique and interesting properties; perhaps the most notable is phase conjugation. Stimulated Rayleigh-wing scattering (SRWS)1'2 is the stimulated scattering process arising from the optical Kerr effect, and it possesses an extremely fast response time (2 ps in CS2). Under certain experimental conditions, SRWS is known to conjugate both the phase and polarization of an incident field.3 The optical Kerr effect also leads to an intensity-dependent refractive index and is often the dominant contribution to this effect. With a large nonlinear index change, several undesirable effects, such as self-focusing and filamentation,Stimulated scattering is a nonlinear process that often results in the generation of a backwardgoing signal.

Slow Light Prism Enhanced Spectroscopy (SLOPES)

Amirhossein Abbasszadehrad, Jason M. Meyers, Arthur Dogariu +1 more

We report a new spectroscopy method achieved by combined refraction and propagation delay of light pulses passing through a prism cell filled with an atomic vapor. The atomic vapor medium has strong refractive index gradients near the atomic resonant absorption features, and these features enable the separation in time and space of different spectral features of a light pulse propagating through the vapor cell. The gradient of the refractive index leads to a slowing of the light pulse, while simultaneously, the magnitude of the refractive index and the prismatic windows or internal prism elements of the atomic vapor cell spatially separate the frequencies due to dispersion. The combination of these two effects leads to high-resolution spectral selectivity and strong suppression of out-of-band light. Applications are achieved for Rayleigh, Raman, and Thomson spectroscopy for which the wavelength of the scattering spectra tracks the wavelength of the excitation laser source. The laser is tuned such that the spectral line of interest falls near the resonance of the atomic vapor. Applications for rotational Raman spectroscopy are of particular interest since specific Raman lines can be selected while other Raman lines as well as background Rayleigh and other scattering are strongly rejected.
