Multicolored Femtosecond Pulse Synthesis Using Coherent Raman Sidebands in a Reflection Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
Broadband coherent Raman generation emerges as a successful method to produce multicolored femtosecond pulses and time-shaped laser fields. In our study, coherent Raman sidebands are generated in a Raman-active crystal, driven by two-color femtosecond laser pulses. An interferogram of the sidebands based on coherent Raman scattering is produced in a novel reflection scheme. The relative spectral phases of the sidebands are obtained from the interferogram using a numerical simulation. This enables us to retrieve the ultrafast waveform using coherent Raman sidebands.

Generation of ultrashort optical pulses in the 10 fs regime using multicolor Raman sidebands in KTaO3.
We demonstrated Fourier synthesis of a new type of multiple coherent anti-Stokes Raman scatterings in KTaO(3) crystal. The signals with a wavelength range of 500-750 nm were generated by two femtosecond pulses whose frequency difference was set to be a two-phonon Raman frequency. Angle dispersion of the signals was compensated into one white-continuum beam by spherical mirrors and a prism. The ...

We have reviewed the generation and amplification of wavelength-tunable multicolored femtosecond laser pulses using cascaded four-wave mixing (CFWM) in transparent bulk media, mainly concentrating on our recent work. Theoretical analysis and calculations based on the phase-matching condition could explain well the process semi-quantitatively. The experimental studies showed: (1) as many as fift...
متن کاملGeneration of μJ multicolor femtosecond laser pulses using cascaded four-wave mixing
Μulticolor femtosecond pulses were simultaneously obtained by a cascaded FWM process in fused silica glass. The sideband spectra were tunable by changing the crossing angle of the two input beams. Frequency up-shift and down-shift pulses with energies as high as 1 μJ, durations of 45 fs, nearly diffraction limited Gaussian spatial profiles, and power stability smaller than 2% RMS of the generat...
متن کاملPulse-shaper-assisted phase control of a coherent broadband spectrum of Raman sidebands.
We report pulse-shaper-assisted phase control of a broad spectrum, aiming to synthesize nonsinusoidal waveforms. We first generate multiple-order coherent Raman sidebands by focusing two laser beams into a piece of diamond. Then we combine five sidebands into a single beam by using a prism. Our setup allows for both coarse, manual phase adjustments and fine tuning of the spectral phases. A flat...
متن کاملEigenvectors of a raman medium
We show the existence of discrete sets of Raman sidebands which self-consistently establish a Raman coherence and propagate without change in amplitude and relative phase. Equivalently, there exist periodic femtosecond-time-scale, temporal pulse shapes which propagate without change in shape.
