Highly transient stimulated Raman scattering in SrMoO under ultrafast laser pumping with a controllable chirp.

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, we demonstrate highly transient, multiwavelength, single-pass Raman generation with combined frequency shifts on two Raman modes of an SrMoO crystal with high total Raman conversion efficiency of up to 48% in conditions of competition with self-phase modulation (SPM). A 58-mm-long SrMoO crystal was used as the active medium under pumping by the 1030-nm, 40-µJ laser pulses with controllable dispersive stretching in a range of 0.25-6 ps at negative and positive chirping.
