Abstract
Abstract STIMULATED RAMAN EMISSION IN THE VISIBLE HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN GLASS-FIBER OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES. EVEN THROUGH THE RAMAN CROSS SECTION IS QUITE SMALL, RELATIVELY LOW THRESHOLD FOR RAMAN EMISSION CAN BE ACHIEVED BECAUSE HIGH OPTICAL POWER DENSITIES ARE MAINTAINED OVER LONG LENGTHS OF WAVEGUIDE. THE BROAD STIMULATED GAIN BRANDWIDTHS AVAILABLE IN GLASS SHOULD PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF WIDEBAND FIBER AMPLIFERS AND RAMAN OSCILLATORS TURNABLE OVER A RANGE OF ABOUT 100 ANGSTROMS.
