摘要
We investigate the dependence of the intensity distribution of the impulsively stimulated rotational Raman sidebands from hydrogen gas on the polarization of the prepump and pump pulses. The results show that the energy flow direction of the pump pulse can be confined to either the Stokes side or the anti-Stokes side by changing the polarization of the 60 fs pump pulse. It is found that the use of a linearly polarized pump pulse is the most effective way to generate the largest number of Raman components as possible. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
