Abstract
We show that two Raman generators which have different Raman transition frequencies and are used in series result in a multiplicative increase in the total number of generated sidebands. When phase-corrected, these sidebands synthesize to a train of randomly timed single-cycle pulses. For series generators on the rotational transitions of molecular and each with 40 modes, the average peak power enhancement is 1600 and the average duration between random pulses is 1.74 ps.
