Measurement of Multi-Stokes Ultrashort Pulse Shapes of Synchronously Pumped Stimulated Raman Scattering on Combined Vibrational Modes in a BaWO4 Crystal

Abstract

Multi-Stokes ultrashort pulse shapes and their relative positions of synchronously pumped stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) on combined primary and secondary vibrational modes in a BaWO4 crystal are investigated. An original method of its simultaneous measurement with the help of a streak camera has been developed. The structure of SRS pulses at the pulse shortening effect down to the pulse duration, close to the dephasing time of the secondary Raman mode of the BaWO4 crystal, is registered and analyzed for the detuning of the Raman laser cavity length.
