Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in a liquid has been a major focus of nonlinear optics. Traditional SRS generates single or cascaded Stokes components arising from spontaneous Raman noise. Herein, we report the formation mechanism of a specific spectrum-continuous spectroscopy technique based on SRS of mixed liquids. SRS of a mixed acetone and carbon disulfide solution is investigated by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 532 nm. Two remarkably asymmetric broadened SRS lines are obtained. When the volume ratio is 7:3, the broadened spectral bands are optimized. The supercontinuum spectroscopy phenomenon is explained by hydrogen bond formation, adjacent vibrational modes coupling, and laser-induced plasma generation. This technique has the potential to contribute to the development of a supercontinuum Raman laser.
