Nonlinear synchronization of the pump and Stokes-wave pulses in coherent resonant stimulated Raman scattering

A new effect has been discovered: a nonlinear locking of the Stokes wave by the pump pulse in the coherent regime of stimulated Raman scattering in a resonant three-level medium. The effect causes a complete transfer of energy from the pump pulse to the Stokes signal.
