摘要
We demonstrate the continuous-wave operation of a solid-state Raman laser containing a barium nitrate crystal as the Raman medium. The Raman laser, which has a singly resonant cavity, is pumped by multimode radiation. The Raman oscillation threshold is reached at similar to2 W of pump power. As much as 500 kW/cm(2) of Stokes power density at 60-kW/cm(2) pump power density is obtained in the cavity. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
