Abstract

Optical processes with strong-coupling and quantum-coherence are opening various new possibilities beyond the limit of conventional optical processes. Recently we have extended these optical processes to a condensed phase using solid hydrogen for stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) process.¹ The essence of the work was the self-evolution of the strongly- coupled coherence using one excitation laser. In the present work we extend the above work to a more controllable scheme using two lasers. The point of the present report is the measurement of the SRS characteristics to the two- photon detuning. We show that the parametric SRS processes favorably occurs on the negative detuning side, in which the coherence can be evolved adiabatically to the anti-phased state coherence.²
