Abstract
We report here our recent observations of low J-value Stokes and anti-Stokes lines from stimulated rotational Raman scattering (SRRS) in long air paths with a large Fresnel number beam at a pump wavelength of 1053 nm. The spectral and temporal dynamics of SRRS is important to our understanding of SRRS as applied to the propagation of large-aperture beams in laser systems for fusion research and in defense applications.1,2 An example of this is the proposed implementation of broad bandwidth and spatial incoherence for target irradiation experiments in the field of laser-plasma interactions.
