Regulation of O–H and O–O stimulated Raman scattering peaks in H2O–H2O2 solution by excess electrons

Abstract

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) not only expands the spectral range of stimulated emission but also presents a way to delve into the intricate microscopic dynamics of matter. In this manuscript, SRS of O–O and O–H stretching vibrations in H2O–H2O2 solution is measured using 532 nm Nd:YAG laser. SRS peak intensities of O–O and O–H stretches are observed to engage in a competitive process, depending on the coupling direction of the excess electrons, which is determined by the recombination rate of H2O2 and H2O under laser-induced breakdown. Notably, a high-order (fifth order) SRS peak originating from H2O2 is detected, attributable to the Raman-active enhancement caused by surplus electrons and the amplification of vibration energy resulting from shockwaves. This experiment holds potential for advancing multi-wavelength selective regulation in terms of its contributions.
