title: Raman generation by phased and antiphased molecular states.
abstract: We use molecular deuterium and two driving lasers to demonstrate collinear generation of mutually coherent equidistant sidebands, covering 50 000 cm(-1) of spectral bandwidth and ranging from 2.94 microm to 195 nm in wavelength. The essential idea is the adiabatic preparation of a single, highly coherent (|rho(ab)| = 0.33) molecular eigenstate.
