Stimulated Raman scattering of picosecond light pulses in hydrogen, deuterium and methane

Experimental results are presented on stimulated Raman scattering of short pulses of approximately 100 ps duration in H<sub>2</sub>, D<sub>2</sub>, and CH<sub>4</sub>, both in capillary waveguides and in a tight focusing geometry. Experimentally determined thresho...

520 |a Experimental results are presented on stimulated Raman scattering of short pulses of approximately 100 ps duration in H<sub>2</sub>, D<sub>2</sub>, and CH<sub>4</sub>, both in capillary waveguides and in a tight focusing geometry. Experimentally determined thresholds are in good agreement with calculation. Low thresholds (<20 µJ) are observed in CH<sub>4</sub> and preliminary results using a mode-locked dye laser as pump indicate a useful source of tunable short pulse radiation in the near infrared.
