Abstract.
We demonstrate control of the spectral distribution of Raman sidebands in impulsively stimulated rotational Raman scattering from hydrogen gas by 70 fs infrared pump and 60 fs blue probe pulses. The results show that the energy flow direction of the probe pulse can be confined to either the Stokes side or the anti-Stokes side by changing the polarization of the probe pulse. It is found that the combination of a circularly polarized pump pulse and a linearly polarized probe pulse is the most efficient method for generating multiple Raman components.
