The production of correlated Stokes (S) and anti-Stokes (aS) photons (SaS process) mediated by real or virtual phonon exchange has been reported in many transparent materials. In this work, we investigate the polarization and time correlations of SaS photon pairs produced in a diamond sample. We demonstrate that both S and aS photons have mainly the same polarization of the excitation laser. We also perform a pump-and-probe experiment to measure the decay rate of the SaS pair production, evidencing the fundamental diference between the real and virtual (phonon exchange) processes. In real processes, the rate of SaS pair production is governed by the phonon lifetime of $(2.8 pm 0.3)$ ps, while virtual processes only take place within the time width of the pump laser pulses of approximately 0.2 ps. We explain the diference between real and virtual SaS processes by a phenomenological model, based on probabilities of phonon creation and decay.

Since its first demonstration in the sixties, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) has become a powerful spectroscopic sensing tool with broad applications in biology and chemistry. However, it is a complex nonlinear optical process that ofte n leads to the lacks of quantitative data outputs. In this letter, we observe how CARS signal builds up gradually and demonstrate how to control its deferral with laser-pulse shaping. A time-resolved three-color CARS that involves a pair of driving broadband femtosecond pulses and delayed shaped probe pulse is realized experimentally. Driving pulses are tuned to the Raman-resonance onto the vibrational ring modes of pyridine and benzene molecules. As a result, CARS-buildup is deferred in picoseconds as delayed probe pulse width varies from 50 down to 10 cm-1. With off-resonant driving of water molecules this effect, in contrary, does not occur. Laser control predicting deferred resonant processes can serve as a novel and important species-specific indicator in, e.g., machine learning applications for future nonlinear optical spectroscopy.
We make systematic measurements of Raman anti-Stokes/Stokes (aS/S) ratios using two different laser excitations (514 and 633 nm) of rhodamine 6G (RH6G) on dried Ag colloids over a wide range of temperatures (100 to 350 K). We show that a temperature scan allows the separation of the contributions to the aS/S ratios from {it resonance effects} and {it heating/pumping}, thus decoupling the two main aspects of the problem. The temperature rise is found to be larger when employing the 633 nm laser. In addition, we find evidence for mode specific vibrational pumping at higher laser power densities. We analyze our results in the framework of ongoing discussion on laser heating/pumping under SERS conditions.
The anti-Stokes scattering and Stokes scattering in stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) cascade have been researched by the Vlasov-Maxwell simulation. In the high-intensity laser-plasmas interaction, the stimulated anti-Stokes Brillouin scattering (SABS) will occur after the second stage SBS rescattering. The mechanism of SABS has been put forward to explain this phenomenon. And the SABS will compete with the SBS rescattering to determine the total SBS reflectivity. Thus, the SBS rescattering including the SABS is an important saturation mechanism of SBS, and should be taken into account in the high-intensity laser-plasmas interaction.
Solid-state quantum emitters are garnering a lot of attention due to their role in scalable quantum photonics. A notable majority of these emitters, however, exhibit spectral diffusion due to local, fluctuating electromagnetic fields. In this work, w e demonstrate efficient Anti-Stokes (AS) excitation of quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and show that the process results in the suppression of a specific mechanism responsible for spectral diffusion of the emitters. We also demonstrate an all-optical gating scheme that exploits Stokes and Anti-Stokes excitation to manipulate spectral diffusion so as to switch and lock the emission energy of the photon source. In this scheme, reversible spectral jumps are deliberately enabled by pumping the emitter with high energy (Stokes) excitation; AS excitation is then used to lock the system into a fixed state characterized by a fixed emission energy. Our results provide important insights into the photophysical properties of quantum emitters in hBN, and introduce a new strategy for controlling the emission wavelength of quantum emitters.
We report stimulated Raman spectroscopy of the G phonon in both single and multi-layer graphene, through Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS). The signal generated by the third order nonlinearity is dominated by a vibrationally non-resonant b ackground (NVRB), which obscures the Raman lineshape. We demonstrate that the vibrationally resonant CARS peak can be measured by reducing the temporal overlap of the laser excitation pulses, suppressing the NVRB. We model the observed spectra, taking into account the electronically resonant nature of both CARS and NVRB. We show that CARS can be used for graphene imaging with vibrational sensitivity.
