Abstract
A method is developed for studying transient stimulated Raman scattering in the quasi-steady-state regime when the input pump field consists of a repetitive periodic sequence of pulses. The method is most attractive for cases where the single-pulse duration is substantially shorter than the repetition time scale, making a straightforward numerical simulation very costly, time consuming, and potentially intractable. The method is applicable to any periodic electric field envelope including that generated by a finite number of longitudinal modes with arbitrary phase. A second numerically efficient method is developed for treating the buildup of the entire pulse train. In addition, an analytic solution is found in the undepleted-pump regime which illuminates the underlying physics of the process.
