Generation of Ultrashort Optical Pulses in the Deep-Ultraviolet Region Based on Four-Wave Raman Mixing

A two-color pump beam (800 and 1200 nm) was introduced into hydrogen for molecular phase modulation, and a probe beam (267 nm) to generate Raman sidebands, by coherent frequency modulation based on four-wave Raman mixing. The phase and temporal profile were evaluated by means of a self-diffraction f...
