An experimental investigation of picosecond laser propagation in a submillimeter liquid-core waveguide is presented. It is observed that the pump is spectrally broadened towards its Stokes frequency upon passing through the waveguide and the spectral bandwidth is further extended by stimulated raman scattering. This stable ultrafast broadband radiation is shown to be enhanced due to the use of the waveguide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
