Investigating the interaction of stopped pump pulses with stimulated Raman scattering.

Main Results:

The pump pulse is shown to decelerate and stop within the Bragg reflector.
The stopped pump field significantly enhances the interaction with stimulated Raman scattering.
Substantial reduction in temporal walk-off between pump and Raman pulses.
Numerical simulations predict up to 85% conversion efficiency from picosecond pump pulses to Stokes waves.

Conclusions:

Stopped light pulses in a doubly resonant Bragg reflector offer an efficient route for nonlinear optical frequency conversion.
This approach effectively overcomes the limitations of temporal walk-off in stimulated Raman scattering.
The demonstrated 85% conversion efficiency highlights the potential of this technique for practical applications.
