Abstract

Operation of an all solid-state compact pulsed Raman laser pumped by a continuous-wave laser diode is demonstrated. The Stokes and anti-Stokes radiations of stimulated Raman scattering at the 1.181 and 0.973 μm wavelengths, respectively, are generated as a result of self-frequency conversion of the 1.067 μm laser radiation in a Nd3+:KGd(WO4)2 crystal. With Q-switched operation, the Raman laser threshold corresponds to 230 mW of a laser diode light power. The output power of 4.8 mW is achieved at the Stokes wavelength with a kilohertz repetition rate.
