Numerical optimization of the extracavity Raman laser with barium nitrate crystal

The radiation transfer equations of the extracavity Raman laser including up to the third Stokes beams and backward Raman scattering terms were deduced in detail from the wave equation and material equations of stimulated Raman scattering. The radiation transfer equations were solved numerically to optimize the performance of the extracavity Raman lasers with barium nitrate crystal as the nonlinear medium. The optimum reflectivity of the output coupler at the first Stokes was figured out numerically to achieve the maximum conversion efficiency of the first Stokes, and found to be closely related to the pump pulse duration, peak intensity of the pump pulse, and Raman crystal length. With the resonator mirrors highly reflective at the first Stokes, the highest conversion efficiency of the second Stokes was obtained when the input mirror was highly reflective at second Stokes, whereas the output coupler was highly transmissive at the second Stokes. It was found that too high intracavity intensity of the second Stokes would impede the efficient energy extraction from the pump pulse to the first Stokes, and consequently, limit the conversion efficiency of the second Stokes.     

Picosecond parametric Raman laser based on KGd(WO4)2 crystal

Simultaneous frequency up and down conversion using a biharmonically pumped parametric Raman laser (PRL) based on a KGd(WO₄)₂ (KGW) crystal has been demonstrated experimentally. Collimated beams have been generated for both the 1st anti-Stokes (1AS) at 511 nm and 2nd Stokes (2S) at 579 nm by four-wave parametric Raman interaction. To excite PRL biharmonically, we pumped the KGW crystal with 20 ps pulses at the fundamental 530 nm and its 1st Stokes component at 555 nm. The 1st Stokes pump beam was generated using stimulated Raman scattering in a separate KGW Raman oscillator. The energy conversion efficiencies reached experimentally were 10% for the 2S and 4% for the 1AS.
