Abstract :
Experimental results are presented on stimulated Raman scattering of short pulses of approximately 100 ps duration in H2 , D2 , and CH4 , both in capillary waveguides and in a tight focusing geometry. Experimentally determined thresholds are in good agreement with calculation. Low thresholds ( 
J) are observed in CH4 and preliminary results using a mode-locked dye laser as pump indicate a useful source of tunable short pulse radiation in the near infrared.
