Abstract
The generation of more than 40 rotational stimulated Raman emission li nes in hydrogen gas by use of a picosecond and femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser is reported. The spectral range of the emission lines extends f rom the near-infrared to the far-ultraviolet region. The resulting bro ad bandwidth allows the generation of a 0.6-fs pulse by coherent super position, i.e., Fourier synthesis, of the emission lines.
