Abstract

A unique characteristic of transient stimulated Raman scattering, in which the spatiotemporal evolution of the fields and the molecular excitation follow a universal self-similarity law, is observed in gas-filled photonic crystal fibers. As the input laser power is increased, the coupled system "optical fields + molecular excitation" goes through the same phases of time evolution but at a higher rate. Using the self-similarity law we are able to completely reconstruct the evolution of the pump and Stokes fields from one measurement.
