Abstract :
Generation of VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) radiation by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in H2 is studied with collinear irradiation of the first Stokes component simultaneously with pump laser radiation. Improvements of the high-order coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) method over the pure SRS scheme are: generation of higher anti-Stokes (AS) orders, increased conversion efficiency, and considerably better reproducibility. Experimental results are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis
