Sensitivity of coherent anti-Stokes Raman lineshape to time asymmetry of laser pulses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that coherent anti-Stokes Raman lineshapes do not follow known spectral profiles if the time asymmetry of realistic laser pulses is taken into account. Examples are given for nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses commonly employed in frequency-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. More remarkably, the analysis suggests an effect of line narrowing in comparison to the customary approach, based primarily on the Voigt lineshape.

Picosecond time-resolved pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy for N(2) thermometry.
Time-resolved pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy using picosecond-duration laser pulses is investigated for gas thermometry. The use of picosecond laser pulses significantly reduces background caused by scattering of the probe beam, and delayed probing of the Raman coherence enables elimination of interference from nonresonant four-wave mixing processes. Temperatures inferr...
متن کاملAnti-stokes Raman Lasers : a Concept for the Generation of Short-wavelength Coherent Radiation
The anti-Stokes Raman process allows frequency up-conversion of coherent pulsed or cw radiation. For the process, a population inversion on a two-photon transition is needed. The principle of this technique, the present experimental situation and some developments will be described and discussed. Introduction The generation of coherent radiation at short wavelengths, in the vacuum-ultraviolet (...
متن کاملSingle-fiber-laser-based wavelength tunable excitation for coherent Raman spectroscopy
We demonstrate coherent Raman spectroscopy (CRS) using a tunable excitation source based on a single femtosecond fiber laser. The frequency difference between the pump and the Stokes pulses was generated by soliton self-frequency shifting in a nonlinear optical fiber. Spectra of C─H stretches of cyclohexane were measured simultaneously by stimulated Raman gain (SRG) and coherent anti-Stokes Ram...
متن کاملSubfemtosecond pulses in the multicascade stimulated Raman scattering
We explore recently predicted multifrequency 2p solitons in multicascade stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) that was mode locked by the dynamics of population at a Raman quantum transition; we show that these solitons are eigensolitons of a general solitary-wave solution. Soliton components at each frequency are bright pulses of the same (Lorentzian) shape, in contrast to the familiar bright–dar...
متن کاملBroadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy of nitrogen using a picosecond modeless dye laser.
Broadband picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy of nitrogen is demonstrated using 145-ps pump and probe beams and a 115-ps Stokes beam with a spectral bandwidth of 5 nm. This is, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of broadband CARS using subnanosecond lasers. The short temporal envelope of the laser pulses and the broadband spectral nature of the Stokes bea...
