Abstract

We suggest a technique to generate subfemtosecond pulse train in a Raman generator driven by three sufficiently intense single-mode laser beams whose carrier frequencies are tuned off the Raman resonance with two different two-photon detunings. The Raman interaction establishes a molecular modulation through a nonadiabatic process. The simulation based on the first fundamental vibrational Raman transition of solid hydrogen indicates that subfemtosecond pulse train can be generated when the signs of the two-photon detunings are opposite. This opens an experimentally feasible way to observe enhanced generation of broadband Raman sidebands as well as compression of the phase-locked Raman sidebands into subfemtosecond pulse trains in the same Raman media with above- and below-resonance Raman excitations.
