Effect of stimulated Raman scattering on pulse-compression characteristics
Abstract:
The effect of stimulated Raman scattering on pulse-compression characteristics has been studied experimentally and theoretically. When an optical pulse is compressed by an optical fiber and a grating pair, the generation of stimulated Raman scattering becomes important. When stimulated Raman scattering occurs, the compressed pulse width changes asymmetrically with respect to the magnitude of the anomalous dispersion created by the grating pair. The compressed pulse has much residual energy in its wings, and it does not have a smooth envelope for large anomalous dispersion.

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...
