A Step Beyond BRET: Fluorescence by Unbound Excitation from Luminescence (FUEL)
Published on: May 23, 2014
Abstract:
Raman emission by an axicon-generated superluminal source is demonstrated. The anti-Stokes radiation is emitted at an angle defined by a Cerenkov-type condition. This technique of superluminal-source generation has advantages in both low pump self-phase modulation and compensation of temporal walk-off caused by group-velocity dispersion, rendering the scheme useful for efficient Raman conversion, pump-probe measurements, and harmonic and optical parametric generation with ultrashort intense pulses.
