CASCADED, LONG PULSE AND CONTINUOUS WAVE RAMAN LASERS

摘要

A Raman Laser device having an nth Stokes shifted output the device including: a laser pump input; a lasing cavity having feedback elements at each end; and a diamond Raman active gain medium within the cavity, exhibiting first and higher Stokes emissions when subjected to pumping by the laser pump input; wherein the feedback elements feeding back the pump input, and 1st Stokes output from the gain medium, and a gain portion of the higher Stokes outputs, with a transmitting portion of the nth Stokes output being the output of the device.
