Asymptotic evolution of transient pulses undergoing stimulated Raman scattering
Abstract:
Propagation of short, transient pulses undergoing stimulated Raman scattering over long length scales is considered. It is shown that under common experimental circumstances the evolution has two different regimes: an I regime, at short lengths, where the pump changes little and the Stokes rapidly grows, and a J regime, at long lengths, where the Stokes intensity is close to saturation and the pump intensity decreases slowly as the square root of distance. The distance at which the J regime is reached is determined numerically.

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...

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
