Resonator Module for a Laser on the Effect of Stimulated Raman Scattering on a Diamond Single Crystal

Abstract

Abstract—The design features of the resonator module of a laser based on the effect of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) on a single crystal of diamond grown by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method pumped by a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser. The performance of the developed structure on a CVD diamond has been checked and on a test SRS calcite crystal (CaCO3); Raman lasers based on both crystals were pumped using radiation with λ = 532 nm. SRS lasing was obtained, the wavelengths of Stokes components and the SRS gains of CVD diamond and calcite were measured.
