Abstract: | The stimulated Raman scattering by polaritons and phonons generated by the fluctuations of the crystal vibrations is investigated for the transient regime. The transient gain and the scattering energy is given for the case of retarded or advanced Stokes and polariton pulses in relation to the laser pulse. Moreover, the influence of phase modulation of the laser pulse on the transient SRS by polaritons is discussed. |
