Abstract

Four-wave parametric processes in multicascade SRS conversion of neodymium laser radiation into an eye-safe region are studied in relation to the phase mismatch of parametric coupling, which is determined by the refractive index dispersion of the SRS medium. The numerical simulation showed that the generation of multicascade SRS at a particular wavelength in the IR region can be even more efficient than the single-cascade conversion if the parametric coupling between the first Stokes and anti-Stokes components is weak and higher Stokes components are strongly parametrically coupled with each other. This situation is observed in the eye-safe IR region, where the refractive index dispersion of solid-state SRS media is minimal, which allows one to optimize the SRS conversion by choosing an SRS medium and its length.
