  • 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 ( < 20 \\mu J) are observed in CH4and preliminary results using a mode-locked dye laser as pump indicate a useful source of tunable short pulse radiation in the near infrared.
