Abstract

We introduced a locked-energy coherent Stokes radiation scheme based on multi-mode stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of aqueous sulfuric acid solutions. SRS of pure sulfuric acid has only one vibrational characteristic peak. Mixing sulfuric acid with water leads to the appearance of bisulfate, and the energy transfer between adjacent vibrational energy levels in a 17.0 mol/l aqueous sulfuric acid solution leads to generation of five different vibrational modes in a solution. The competition between these five SRS modes prevents the vibrational energy from being transferred to high-order Stokes waves, thereby locking most of the energy in the first-order Stokes SRS and outputting a very strong, broadband, and coherent Raman radiation ranging from 555 to 570 nm. This study demonstrates the possibility of producing an intense single longitudinal mode laser.
