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

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