Generation of Ultrafast Optical Pulses via Molecular Modulation in Ambient Air

We investigated the possibility of making ever-shorter optical pulses by using the nonlinearity of ambient air. We produced a broad spectrum consisting of mutually coherent optical sidebands via collinear Raman generation driven by two picosecond laser pulses that are Raman-resonant with molecular v...
