Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering in a microcavity

Opt Lett. 2009 Jun 15;34(12):1789-91. doi: 10.1364/ol.34.001789.

Abstract

We study tight focus coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) emission in a microcavity where the active medium is squeezed between two independent planar mirrors. We show strong modifications in the CARS forward and backward far-field radiation patterns. For low-order cavities, we demonstrate that most of the emitted power can be concentrated into a direction perpendicular to the mirrors.
