Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the ultrafast temporal and spectral responses of optical fields in tapered and metalized optical fibers (MOFs) and optical plasmon nanostrip probes (NPs). Computational experiment shows that output pulses of the NPs are virtually unchanged in shape and duration for input pulses with a duration of >1 fs and are not sensitive to changes in the parameters of the probe (such as convergence angle and taper length), while local enhancement of the electric field intensity reaches 300 times at the NP apex. Compared with the NPs, MOFs lead to significant output pulse distortions, even for input pulses with a duration of 10 fs. In addition, the temporal response at the MOF apex is critically sensitive to changes in MOF parameters and cannot provide any significant local enhancement of the electric field. These findings reveal the high potential of optical plasmon nanostrip probes as an ultrashort pulse delivery system to nanometer-size areas and indicate that its usage can be promising for a wide variety of techniques studying ultrafast processes in nanoscopic volumes.

Abstract
Chemistry studies the composition, structure, properties, and transformation of matter. A mechanistic understanding of the pertinent processes is required to translate fundamental knowledge into practical applications. The current development of ultrafast Raman as a powerful time-resolved vibrational technique, particularly femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), has shed light on the structure-energy-function relationships of various photosensitive systems. This Perspective reviews recent work incorporating optical innovations, including the broad-band up-converted multicolor array (BUMA) into a tunable FSRS setup, and demonstrates its resolving power to watch metal speciation and photolysis, leading to high-quality thin films, and fluorescence modulation of chimeric protein biosensors for calcium ion imaging. We discuss advantages of performing FSRS in the mixed time-frequency domain and present strategies to delineate mechanisms by tracking low-frequency modes and systematically modifying chemical structures with specific functional groups. These unique insights at the chemical-bond level have started to enable the rational design and precise control of functional molecular machines in optical, materials, energy, and life sciences.

Abstract
We present the first multiwavelength surface-enhanced femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SE-FSRS) study, as well as the first observation of anti-Stokes vibrational features in SE-FSRS spectra. We compare stimulated Raman loss (SRL) and stimulated Raman gain (SRG) signals at three pump wavelengths chosen to sample different portions of nanoparticle aggregate localized surface plasmon resonances. The SE-FSRS signals exhibit similar signal magnitudes in the SRL or SRG regions of the spectra regardless of Raman pump or probe wavelength. The spectral lineshapes, however, differ dramatically with excitation wavelengths. The observed trends in spectral line shape show a strong dependence on the relative position of the excitation fields with respect to the plasmon resonance but do not match predictions from any existing SE-FSRS theory. These results suggest the need for further theoretical efforts with complementary experimental studies of individual aggregates to remove the effects of inherent ensemble averaging.

Abstract
We present a coupled wave semiclassical theory to describe plasmonic enhancement effects in surface-enhanced femtosecond stimulated Raman scattering (SE-FSRS). A key result is that the plasmon enhanced fields which drive the vibrational equation of motion for each normal mode results in dispersive lineshapes in the SE-FSRS spectrum. This result, which reproduces experimental lineshapes, demonstrates that plasmon-enhanced stimulated Raman methods provide unique sensitivity to a plasmonic response. Our derived SE-FSRS theory shows a plasmonic enhancement of |gpu|(2)ImχR(ω)gst (2)/ImχR(ω), where |gpu|(2) is the absolute square of the plasmonic enhancement from the Raman pump, χR(ω) is the Raman susceptibility, and gst is the plasmonic enhancement of the Stokes field in SE-FSRS. We conclude with a discussion on potential future experimental and theoretical directions for the field of plasmonically enhanced coherent Raman scattering.
