Theory of selective excitation in stimulated Raman scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
A semiclassical model is used to investigate the possibility of selectively exciting one of two closely spaced, uncoupled Raman transitions. The duration of the intense pump pulse that creates the Raman coherence is shorter than the vibrational period of a molecule ~impulsive regime of interaction!. Pulse shapes are found that provide either enhancement or suppression of particular vibrational excitations.

Femtosecond multiple - pulse impulsive stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy
Optical control of elementary molecular motion through impulsive stimulated Raman scattering is enhanced by means of timed sequences of femtosecond pulses that are produced by pulse-shaping techniques. In particular, terahertz-rate trains of femtosecond pulses are used for repetitive impulsive excitation of individual phonon modes in an a-perylene molecular crystal. When the pulse repetition ra...

Resonance Raman scattering of light from a diatomic molecule" (1976). Resonance Raman scattering from a homonuclear diatomic molecule is considered in detail. For convenience, the scattering may be classified into three excitation frequency regions-off-resonance Raman scattering for inciderit energies well away from resonance with any allowed transitions, discrete resonance Raman scattering for...
متن کاملCoherent Excitation of the Optic Phonon in Si: Transiently Stimulated Raman Scattering with aFinite-Lifetime Electronic Excitation
Using 28-fs, 800-nm laser pulses we have coherently excited and subsequently probed, with time-dependent reflectivity, the Si zone-center optic phonon. The phonon-induced reflectivity change R /R is well described by the response of an underdamped oscillator: R /R exp −t / ph cos 2 t /Tph+ . The measured phase indicates that transiently stimulated Raman scattering TSRS is responsible for the co...
متن کاملSpectral phase optimization of femtosecond laser pulses for narrow-band, low-background nonlinear spectroscopy.
We use experimental search space mapping to examine the problem of selective nonlinear excitation with binary phase shaped femtosecond laser pulses. The search space maps represent a graphical view of all the possible solutions to the selective nonlinear excitation problem along with their experimental degrees of success. Using the information learned from these maps, we generate narrow lines w...
