Multifrequency stimulated Raman scattering of light in liquid nitrogen infiltrated into 3D photonic crystals

Аннотация

Spectral characteristics of stimulated Raman scattering at least in synthetic opal matrices infiltrated with liquid nitrogen upon excitation by nanosecond laser pulses are studied. The effect of the stop band position on the generation efficiency of anti-Stokes components of stimulated Raman scattering up to the third order is demonstrated. The excitation threshold of stimulated Raman scattering in liquid nitrogen infiltrated into opals is significantly lower in comparison with the generation in bulk samples.
