On the spectral transformation of femtosecond pulses in an anisotropic medium under the conditions of stimulated Raman scattering

Stimulated Raman scattering of few-cycle pulses in a medium with uniaxial anisotropy is examined by numerical simulation. It is demonstrated that the stimulated Raman self-scattering of few-cycle pulses leads to the red shift of the pulse spectrum along with its broadening. The spectral shifts of ordinary and extraordinary waves are different.
