Stimulated Raman scattering cascade spanning the wavelength range of 523 to 1750~nm using a graded-index multimode optical fiber

We report on the generation of a Raman cascade spanning the wavelength range of 523 to 1750 nm wavelength range, in a standard telecommunication graded-index multimode optical fiber. Despite the highly multimode nature of the pump, the Raman peaks are generated in specific modes of the fiber, confirming substantial beam cleanup during the stimulated Raman scattering process.
