Stimulated Raman scattering in an ethanol core microstructured optical fiber

Opt Express. 2005 Jun 13;13(12):4786-91. doi: 10.1364/opex.13.004786.

Abstract

We show that high efficiency stimulated Raman scattering can be obtained using hollow core photonic crystal fiber with the core filled with a low refractive index nonlinear liquid. This new architecture opens new perspectives in the development of nonlinear functions as any kind of nonlinear liquid media can now be used to implement them, with original properties not accessible with silica core fibers.
