Picosecond Raman induced Stokes and anti-Stokes lasing in fine-grained Ba(Sn,Zr,Mg,Ta)O{sub}3 crystalline ceramics with the cubic perovskite structure

摘要

We report on the first observation of the Raman induced Stokes and anti-Stokes nonlinear x{sup}((3))-lasing in crystalline "cubic" Ba(Sn,Zr,Mg,Ta)O{sub}3 ceramics of the E- and Z-types. We believe that these isotropic transparent oxide materials are also promising host-ceramics for lanthanide and transition-metal lasants.
