Abstract
We present an experimental demonstration of stimulated
Raman scattering in a hollow core photonic crystal fibre filled with
ethanol. By combining the original transmission properties of these fibres
with a highly nonlinear liquid we have realized a very efficient Raman
generator. This technique can be applied to other nonlinear mechanisms and
opens the way towards the realisation of new fibered components for optical
systems.
