Abstract
Summary form only given. Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in different mediums is widely accepted method for the frequency conversion of the radiation generated in laser systems with different types of pump from flash-lamps to laser diodes. A special place in this direction is occupied by solid-state mediums that allow the laser generation and nonlinear frequency conversion (so called self-frequency conversion) to be simultaneously achieved in one crystal. One of the most efficient mediums for Raman self-conversion is Nd/sup 3+/:KGd(WO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ (Nd:KGW) crystal. Raman self-frequency conversion in Nd:KGW crystal was realized at flashlamp pump more than ten years ago. On the other hand, laser oscillation in Nd:KGW crystal at diode pump has been also already shown in the cw, Q-switched and mode-locked operation modes. In this report the operation of all solid-state compact diode pumped Raman laser with self-conversion on KGW crystal is described.
