Abstract
The far-off-resonance cw Raman laser utilizing high-finesse cavity (HFC) enhancement is a recent development for laser frequency down-conversion.1 Several experiments have been demonstrated using H2 gas as the Raman gain medium [1-3, etc.]. In all these demonstrated systems, wavelength shifting is based on a pure vibrational Raman transition in H2 (the Q01,(l) transition with a shifting of 4155 cm−1) In this paper we report for the first time a cw Raman laser with a pure rotational Stokes emission (the S00(1) transition with a shifting of 586.9 cm−1)
