The inclusion of atomic inversion in Raman scattering can significantly alter field dynamics in plasmonic settings. Our calculations show that large local fields and femtosecond pulses combine to yield: (i) population inversion within hot spots; (ii) gain saturation; and (iii) conversion efficiencies characterized by a switch-like transition to the stimulated regime that spans twelve orders of magnitude. While in Raman scattering atomic inversion is usually neglected, we demonstrate that in some circumstances full accounting of the dynamics of the Bloch vector is required.

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in plasma in a non-eigenmode regime is studied theoretically and numerically. Different from normal SRS with the eigen electrostatic mode excited, the non-eigenmode SRS is developed at plasma density $n_e>0.25n_c$ wh
en the laser amplitude is larger than a certain threshold. To satisfy the phase-matching conditions of frequency and wavenumber, the excited electrostatic mode has a constant frequency around half of the incident light frequency $omega_0/2$, which is no longer the eigenmode of electron plasma wave $omega_{pe}$. Both the scattered light and the electrostatic wave are trapped in plasma with their group velocities being zero. Super hot electrons are produced by the non-eigen electrostatic wave. Our theoretical model is validated by particle-in-cell simulations. The SRS driven in this non-eigenmode regime may play a considerable role in the experiments of laser plasma interactions as long as the laser intensity is higher than $10^{15}$W/cm$^2$.
The subject of this paper is the scattering of a very intense laser pulse (intensity $Isim10^{21};{mathrm{W/cm^2}}$) on relativistic electrons with Lorentz factor between 10 and 45. The laser pulse is modeled by a plane wave with finite length and th
e calculations are performed within the framework of the classical electrodynamics, which is valid for the field intensity and range of electron energies we consider. For a pulse with the central wavelength $lambda=1060;{mathrm{nm}}$ and circular polarization, we study systematically the angular distribution of the emitted radiation, $dW/dOmega$, in its dependence on the electron energy for two collision geometries: the head-on collision (counterpropagating electron and laser pulse), and the 90 degrees collision (the initial electron momentum orthogonal to the laser propagation direction). We investigate the relation between $dW/dOmega$ and the trajectory followed by the electron velocity during the laser pulse and, for the case of a short laser pulse, we discuss the carrier-envelope phase effects. We also present, for the two mentioned geometries, an analysis of the polarization of the emitted radiation and a comparison of the results predicted by the exact classical formula with a high-energy approximation of it.
We demonstrate spatially-resolved measurements of spontaneous and stimulated electron-photon interactions in nanoscale optical near fields using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (CL), and photon-induced near-
field electron microscopy (PINEM). Specifically, we study resonant surface plasmon modes that are tightly confined to the tip apexes of an Au nanostar, enabling a direct correlation of EELS, CL, and PINEM on the same physical structure at the nanometer length scale. Complemented by numerical electromagnetic boundary-element method calculations, we discuss the spontaneous and stimulated electron-photon interaction strength and spatial dependence of our EELS, CL and PINEM distributions. We demonstrate that in the limit of an isolated tip mode, spatial variations in the electron-near field coupling are fully determined by the modal electric field profile, irrespective of the spontaneous (in EELS and CL) or stimulated nature (in PINEM) of the process. Yet we show that coupling to the tip modes crucially depends on the incident electron energy with a maximum at a few keV, depending on the proximity of the interaction to the tip apex. Our results provide elementary insights into spontaneous and stimulated electron-light-matter interactions at the nanoscale that have key implications for research on (quantum) coherent optical phenomena in electron microscopy.
Laser pulses interaction with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in Tris-HCl pH7.5 buffer and in water has been investigated. 20 ns ruby laser pulses have been used for excitation. Spectrum of the light passing through the sample was registered with the help
of Fabri-Perot interferometer. In the case of TMV in water we observed in the spectrum only one line of the exciting laser light, for TMV in Tris-HCl pH7.5 buffer second line appeared, corresponding to the stimulated low-frequency Raman scattering (SLFRS) on the breathing radial mode of TMV. SLFRS frequency shift by 2 cm-1, (60 GHz), conversion efficiency and threshold are measured for the first time to the best of our knowledge.
Stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical waveguides is a fundamental interaction between light and acoustic waves mediated by electrostriction and photoelasticity. In this paper, we revisit the usual theory of this inelastic scattering process to g
et a joint system in which the acoustic wave is strongly coupled to the interference pattern between the optical waves. We show in particular that, when the optoacoustic coupling rate is comparable to the phonon damping rate, the system enters in the strong coupling regime, giving rise to avoided crossing of the dispersion curve and Rabi-like splitting. We further find that optoacoustic Rabi splitting could in principle be observed using backward stimulated Brillouin scattering in sub-wavelength diameter tapered optical fibers with moderate peak pump power.
