Applications of solid-state Raman lasers

摘要

Several laser applications benefit directly from solid-state stimulated Raman scattering (SSRS) technology. These include eye-safe coherent and incoherent lidar, high-resolution 3D marine imaging lidar, laser-corrected adaptive optics, medical lasers, and materials processing. The combination of good beam quality, variable output pulse formats, high conversion efficiency, and frequency agility makes laser sources based on SSRS ideally suited for these applications. In this talk we will discuss specific SSRS laser sources that we have developed for these applications.
