Abstract

Wavelength conversion afforded by stimulated Raman scattering within a hollow core fiber is potentially useful for multispectral light detection and ranging (LiDAR). Herein, we make use of the ideal 1550 cm⁻¹ vibrational Raman shift of an antiresonant fiber filled with gaseous oxygen so that the first and second Raman orders as well as the transmitted pump are all located in separate atmospheric transmission windows. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of stimulated Raman scattering in an oxygen-filled fiber. The host of closely spaced rotational stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) lines (12 cm⁻¹) accompanying the transmitted pump and vibrational Raman orders form continuum bands allowing for much greater spectral coverage of the atmospheric transmission windows. The temporal profiles of the Raman orders can be separated without the use of a grating to potentially achieve a multi-band LiDAR.
