Raman technique for single-cycle pulses

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 D2 (J=02) and H2 (J=13), each with 40 modes, the average peak power enhancement is 1600 and the average duration between random pulses is 1.74 ps.
