Abstract
Continuous-wave Raman generation in a compact solid-state laser system pumped by a multimode diode laser is demonstrated. The Stokes radiation of stimulated Raman scattering at is generated as a result of self-frequency conversion of the laser radiation in crystal placed in the cavity. The Raman threshold was measured at of laser diode power. The highest output power obtained at the Stokes wavelength was . The anomalous delay of Raman generation relative to the start of laser generation (the oscillation buildup) due to slow accumulation of Stokes photons in the cavity at low Raman gain and Raman threshold dependence not only on the laser intensity but also on the time of laser action are observed.
