Optimization of stimulated rotational Raman scattering over vibrational scattering in a hydrogen-filled fiber
Abstract:
We present the first, to the best of our knowledge, investigation of the gain competition between rotational and vibrational stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the transient regime for a hydrogen (H2)-filled antiresonant fiber (ARF) with the aim of generating multispectral emission composed of only rotational SRS. We show numerically and experimentally that purely rotational emission requires optimization of ARF length and spectral transmission, pump power and polarization, and H2 pressure. In this work, the H2-filled ARF is pumped by 40 kW, 7 ns pulses at λ = 1.06 µm to produce six discrete rotational lines from 1.1 to 1.7 µm with unique temporal profiles and pulse energies up to tens of microjoules.

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...
