Particular features of the emission of radiation by a superluminally excited Raman-active medium

Resumo

Particular features of the emission of radiation by a Raman-active medium excited by a sequence of ultrashort superluminal pulses have been studied theoretically. It is shown that such an excitation gives rise to the possibility of obtaining unipolar rectangular videopulses the duration and amplitude of which depend on the velocity of propagation of the excitation over the medium.
