Abstract
The stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the liquid hydrogen droplet was studied to investigate the nonlinear optical processes in a droplet that has rotational and vibrational internal freedom. The liquid hydrogen droplet can readily result in a huge cavity Q-value of 109 and that the SRS in the droplet proceeds not only for vibrational transitions but also for vibrational-rotational and pure-rotational transitions as in the gas phase. The obtained high Q-value are due to: the transparency of the liquid hydrogen up to VUV region which results in extremely low absorption loss in the visible region; and the impurity free condition due to the low temperature circumstance in which all impurities other than helium and neon should be frozen.
