Abstract
We study numerically stimulated Raman scattering between an intense electromagnetic field and a polarizable medium. We consider the standard model and its regularized version which takes into account group velocity dispersion. The Raman energy transfer occurs on a finite distance for the latter and not the former. The inverse scattering theory on the half line can be developed for both systems, however, due to the above mentioned saturation, it is only useful for finite length propagations for the regularized model. In this case, we find the Raman solitons ie. poles in the upper complex plane of the reflection coefficient. Finally we study phase effects leading to Raman spikes and their possible applications to amplification of signal in optical fibers.
