Raman scattering in a whispering mode optical waveguide

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6798403
A device and method for raman scattering in a whispering mode optical waveguide. Both a helical ribbon and cylinder are disclosed which incorporate an additional curvature rho P for confining the beam to increase intensity. A raman scattering medium is disposed in the optical path of the beam as it propagates along the waveguide. Raman scattering is enhanced by the high intensities of the beam and long interaction path lengths which are achieved in a small volume.
