Abstract :
We demonstrate efficient generation of discrete spatially-separated Stokes and anti-Stokes sidebands, ranging in wavelength from infrared, through visible, to ultraviolet spectral regions, by crossing two- or three-color femtosecond laser beams in thin room-temperature Raman-active crystals.
