Principle of quasi-phase matching Nonlinearity (2) Nonlinearity (3) Raman active medium 2
System of transient SRS equations – wave mismatching, g – steady-state Raman gain coefficient, i – frequencies of interacting waves, T2– dephasing time, q – phonon wave, Aj– complex wave amplitudes, z=z’+t’/c, t=t’. 3
Principle of quasi-phase matching at SRS -Generalized phase =2p-a-s-(ka+ks-2kp)r, where ki – is the wave vector of interacting wave, that describes the direction of energy conversion “pump – Stokes – anti-Stokes”, on passive layers input (0, 2) and active layers input (1, 3) do not practically change, that in a final result provides a realization of quasi-phase matching conditions.

Quasi steady-state SRS pulse25Т2 (Т2=0.203 ns,pulse=10 ns). - It is possible to create conditions, at which anti-Stokes conversion coefficient reaches ~25% and the anti-Stokes wave intensity is practically compared to Stokes wave intensity 5
Highly transient SRS pulse<<25Т2 (Т2=0.203 ns,pulse=25 ps). - The efficiency of anti-Stokes SRS conversion much depends on a ratio of dephasing time T2 to pulse duration 6
Optimum ratio of input Stokes/pump intensities - There is an optimum value of input Stokes/pump waves intensities ratio. -This dependence can be approximated asIs/Ip,opt=0,1359g-2,6146 7
Critical pump wave intensity - There is a critical value of pump intensity. -This dependence can be approximated as Icr.p=0.4Δ/g 8
The conversion efficiency can reached more than 25% • The efficiency of anti-Stokes SRS conversion much decreased with increasing of a ratio of dephasing time T2 to pulse duration • For each medium there is an optimal ratio Is/Ip, at which conversion efficiency is maximal • For each medium there is a critical value of pump intensity Conclusions 9
