Abstract
The theoretical framework for a novel, to the best of our knowledge, stimulated Raman spectroscopy process using a UV probe laser pulse train is formulated and simulated. The laser pulse train consists of multi-femtosecond micro-pulses separated by a varying time duration, having a fixed carrier frequency. The comb-like probe spectrum undergoes self-beating. By appropriately varying the separation time between the micro-pulses, the full Raman spectrum can be excited. We also show that a Raman wakefield, containing the entire Raman signatures of complex molecules, is induced behind the probe pulse train and can be used for additional classification. Kerr and non-resonant effects are included in our model. As an illustration, simulations of the Raman spectrum of a particular pathogen are presented and discussed.
