Abstract
Here we demonstrate a new approach combining pulse shaping with a synchronously pumped scheme to produce narrower linewidths as well as higher extinction ratios between neighboring Raman Stokes lines. Several tens of nanometer of tuning range for each Stokes order and a total tuning range of over 200 nm was achieved using resonant feedback from an external bulk grating.
