We present the first experimental demonstrations of stimulated Raman scattering in the evanescent field of a tapered nanofiber. Given the large choice of available materials for the medium surrounding the nanofibers, this demonstration opens the way to the exploration of a new class of experiments and devices.

Keywords: Non-linear optics; nanofibers

Domains: Optics [physics.optics]
