Raman parametric four-wave mixing mechanism of the first-order Stokes generated in CO2 and H2
Abstract:
Without the axial component, an annular spatial profile of the first-order Stokes (S1) was observed during the SRS process in low-energy pumped CO2 gas, which is supposed to be generated by a parametric four-wave mixing process (PFWM), i.e., 2ωP = ωAS1 + ωS1. In order to verify such a mechanism, similar experiments were conducted in H2, and the annular S1 intensity distribution was also noticed. Furthermore, simulations of S1 radial intensity distributions were carried out based on the proposed PFWM phase matching geometry. The PFWM has been verified to be a process that directly annihilates two pump photons and simultaneously produces one AS1 photon and one S1 photon.

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.
