Applications of coherent Raman scattering Conference Paper

abstract

• Recent explorations based on the concept of molecular coherence have lead to exciting developments, extending the ideas of coherence from atomic physics to more complex, molecular systems. Atomic coherence lies at the core of such fascinating phenomena as electromagnetically induced transparency, ultraslow light propagation, and lasing without inversion, which all have been subjects of research and debate over decades. In turn, macroscopic molecular coherence allows broadband collinear generation of Raman sidebands, opening possibilities for compression of optical sub-cycle pulses, and for non-sinusoidal field synthesis; increased coherence also enables improvements in optical detection and sensing applications. 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
