Efficient high-order stimulated Raman scattering was
excited under picosecond pumping in the visible and near-IR in
four crystals of the α-alum family - novel isotropic χ(3)-active crystalline materials. All observed Stokes and
anti-Stokes lasing components were identified and attributed to
the promoting ≈1000 cm-1 vibration modes of
these crystals. Their one-micron steady-state first Stokes Raman
gain coefficients were estimated as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
