چکیده
Low-birefringence (Δn<2x10(-6)), low-loss (absorption coefficient <0.006 cm(-1) at 1064 nm), single-crystal, synthetic diamond has been exploited in a CW Raman laser. The diamond Raman laser was intracavity pumped within a Nd:YVO4 laser. At the Raman laser wavelength of 1240 nm, CW output powers of 1.6 W and a slope efficiency with respect to the absorbed diode-laser pump power (at 808 nm) of ~18% were measured. In quasi-CW operation, maximum on-time output powers of 2.8 W (slope efficiency ~24%) were observed, resulting in an absorbed diode-laser pump power to the Raman laser output power conversion efficiency of 13%.

Most important research results that explain why the work was done, what was accomplished, and how it pushed scientific frontiers or advanced the field. Diamond holds substantial promise as a high Raman gain laser material with outstanding power handling capability, yet despite this the highest reported output power from a diamond Raman laser prior to this project was approximat...
متن کامل1.4 µm continuous-wave diamond Raman laser.
The longest wavelength (~1.4 µm) emitted by a diamond Raman laser pumped by a semiconductor disk laser (SDL) is reported. The output power of the intracavity-pumped Raman laser reached a maximum of 2.3 W with an optical conversion efficiency of 3.4% with respect to the absorbed diode pump power. Narrow Stokes emission (FWHM <0.1 nm) was attained using etalons to limit the fundamental spectrum t...

متن کاملNet continuous wave optical gain in a low loss silicon-on-insulator waveguide by stimulated Raman scattering.
We observe for the first time net continuous wave optical gain in a low loss silicon-on-insulator waveguide based on stimulated Raman scattering. We show that nonlinear optical loss due to two-photon absorption induced free carrier absorption can be significantly reduced by introducing a reverse biased p-i-n diode in the waveguide. For a 4.8 cm long waveguide with an effective core area of ~1.6...
