Abstract
Due to their highly coherent emission, tunability, and compactness, integrated single-frequency diamond Raman lasers are interesting tools for applications in integrated quantum technology, high-resolution spectroscopy, or coherent optical communications. While the fundamental emission linewidth of these lasers can be Fourier limited, their thermo-optic characteristics lead to drifts in their carrier frequency, posing important challenges for applications requiring ultrastable emission. We propose here a method for measuring accurately the temperature-dependent index of refraction of diamond by employing standing Stokes waves produced in a monolithic Fabry-P\'erot diamond Raman resonator. Our approach takes into account the influence of temperature on the first-order phonon line and the average lattice phonon frequency under intense stimulated Raman scattering conditions. We further utilize this model to calculate the value of the average phonon frequency and then the temperature-dependent thermo-optic coefficient. The theory is accompanied by the demonstration of tunable Fourier-limited Stokes nanosecond pulses with a stabilized center frequency deviation of less than $4$ MHz.
