Intracavity frequency converted Raman laser producing 10 deep blue to cyan emission lines with up to 0.94 W output power.

Abstract

Here we report 10 laser emission lines in the attractive deep blue to cyan spectral region from an intracavity frequency doubled Raman laser. The fundamental laser field that drives the Raman laser is based on the three-level transition of Nd:YLF. A maximum extracted quasi-continuous wave (qcw) output power of 0.94W is achieved in the deep blue to cyan spectral regime.
