Influence of geometrical configuration on molecular vibrational dynamics in BBO crystals studied by femtosecond CARS

Abstract Femtosecond time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy is utilized to study the ultrafast vibrational dynamics in BBO crystals at room temperature. The beat wavenumbers between Raman modes and coherence decay rates of Raman modes (at 1214 cm −1 and 1437 cm −1 ) in BBO crystals are excited and detected. The intensities of vibrational modes in BBO crystals are found that they can be controlled by geometrical configuration.
