Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering of 
-switched and mode-locked Nd:YAG laser pulses at 1.06 μm in a 120-m-long single-mode fiber has been investigated experimentally. A Photochron IIA Synchrosan streak camera with picosecond resolution was used to give time resolved detection of the first four order Stokes-Raman pulses at 1.12, 1.18, 1.24, and 1.31 μm. It has been shown that in traversing the fiber the fundamental and the first two order Stokes were substantially shortened and that the Stokes pulses were asymmetrical with sharper leading edges.
