Abstract

The theoretical and experimental study of the axial transient multiwave parametric Raman generation via four-wave mixing of arbitrary neighboring Stokes components in simple tungstate crystals is carried out. In agreement of the theoretical modeling with the experimental results, we have found that because of the four-wave mixing of arbitrary Stokes components in the short crystals, the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) generation thresholds of the high-order Stokes components are significantly reduced relative to the values defined by the cascade-like mechanism of SRS.
