Abstract:
A method for transforming fast solitons into slow ones in bandgap fibers is proposed. The approach is based on the deceleration of the solitons by intrapulse Raman scattering, which can be achieved for fiber modes having a cutoff frequency. We develop a comprehensive theory for the soliton slowdown and elucidate how the fiber losses introduce a fundamental minimum for the soliton velocity.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
