Two-Color Suppression of Stimulated Raman Scattering

Thomas Würthwein, Niels Irwin, Carsten Fallnich

Summary form only given. Sub-diffraction limited imaging schemes have become widely used in fluorescence microscopy [1]. Howaever, the need for labeling with fluorescent dyes remains a major downside of fluorescence microscopy. The size, availability, toxicity as well as photo-bleaching of the used dyes can complicate measurements [2]. In contrast, Raman imaging is inherently label-free. Unfortunately, the super-resolution schemes used in fluorescence microscopy are currently not transferable to Raman microscopy. This paper presents the development of a scheme for the suppression of coherent Raman scattering through the depletion of probe photons, inspired by the work of M. Cho et al. [3, 4], who showed the suppression of coherent Raman scattering using laser pulses at three different wavelengths and two Raman resonances. In our case, probe depletion is achieved through saturated stimulated Raman scattering in a three-beam setup with only two colors involved. Fig. 1 (a) describes the working principle: in the unsuppressed case, the combination of pump and probe pulse induces stimulated Raman scattering at the Raman resonances, leading to stimulated Raman loss (SRL) of the probe and and stimulated Raman gain (SRG) of the pump. The Raman spectrum then results from the difference between two spectra, recorded with pump on and off, respectively. In the suppressed case a second strong pump pulse, working as a depletion pulse, depletes the probe pulse via stimulated Raman scattering (SRLD) and induces a shortage of the probe photons at the Raman resonances, saturating the stimulated Raman scattering. Thus, only a small amount of additional SRLSup is induced by the original pump. If SRL is detected in addition to the spectral change, induced by the depletion pulse, the SRL will be reduced resulting in SRLSup<; SRL.

Stimulated Raman scattering in solid hydrogen

K. Hakuta

Summary form only given.We show using solid hydrogen as a medium that strong coupling can be realized for a high-density solid medium even under far-off-resonant conditions. It is shown through the experiments of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) that in terms of the parametric anti-Stokes generation process, the phase matching is self-induced without the stringent restriction of the medium as a consequence of the strong coupling spontaneously established through the SRS process.

Cavity-enhanced phase-matched coherent Stokes Raman spectroscopy

Kohei Uemoto, Noritada Kaji, Shin-ichi Zaitsu

Coherent Raman spectroscopy is widely applied to mitigate the effects of the smallness of scattering cross-sections common in standard Raman spectroscopy. In this work, we use phased-matched coherent “Stokes” Raman scattering in a macroscopic high-finesse optical enhancement cavity pumped using a narrow-band continuous-wave laser to intensify Raman signals derived from a trace of gaseous Raman-active molecules. To demonstrate the superiority of this method, we directly measure the ratio of signals arising from coherent Raman scattering to those arising from spontaneous Raman scattering in a gaseous medium under the same conditions. The measured enhancement ratio exceeds 10 9 and agrees well with the theoretically predicted value, strongly implying that the proposed method is highly promising for the ultrasensitive detection of traces of homonuclear diatomic molecules that are not accessible via absorption spectroscopy.
