CONTINUOUS-WAVE STIMULATED RAMAN EMISSION
Abstract
A total of twenty-five organic liquids were examined in this measurement series. Stimulated Raman emission was observed in twenty-one organic liquids. In none of these was the strongest line near 1057/cm, the frequency needed for continuous wave generation of stimulated Raman emission. In spontaneous Raman emission, however, three compounds were observed to have strong lines near 1057/cm and will be used in the continuous wave experiment. Spontaneous line halfwidths were measured in some of these compounds. A one- meter tank with glass walls was constructed and used with a Q- switch ruby laser to (1) observe light scattering in water and in organic liquids (2) look for effects ascribable to electrostriction and (3) measure a gain of 0.05/cm for the 1004/cm line of toluene in sample lengths of 50-100 cm. The light scattered to the side showed discrete scattering sites to be present. No effects definitely ascribable to electrostriction could be observed.
