“…This illustrates the potential of diamond for power-scaling of CW Raman lasers. Further, so-called "beam clean-up", leading to an improvement in the beam quality of the Raman laser over the pump laser [2], is observed in our laser indicating the potential for efficient, high brightness Raman lasers even when the beam quality of the pump laser is not perfect.

“…Crystalline Raman lasers enable wavelengths between 1.1 and 1.6 m to be reached using systems based on ubiquitous neodymium lasers [1,2]. Recently, the use of high optical quality, single-crystal, synthetic diamond as a Raman material in external cavity [3][4][5][6] and intracavity [7][8][9] configurations has been demonstrated -made possible by the progress in diamond chemical vapour deposition (CVD) [10,11].…”

“…Diamond has a large Raman gain (64cm/GW at = 532nm [12] and between 12.5cm/GW [13] and 16.6cm/GW [5] at = 1064nm), broad transparency (0.23-2.5µm and >7µm [14]) and a large Raman shift (1332cm 1 [15]). Its thermal conductivity (2000W/m.K [16]) is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude greater than typical crystalline Raman media such as KGd(WO 4 ) 2 and YVO 4 -reducing thermal lensing and hence increasing the power scaling potential of continuous-wave (CW) Raman lasers [2]. In this paper, the use of CVD-grown, low-loss, low-birefringence diamond as a Raman medium in a CW Nd:YVO 4 disk laser is reported.…”

Low-birefringence ( n<2x10 6 ), low-loss (absorption coefficient <0.006cm1 at 1064nm), single-crystal, synthetic diamond has been exploited in a CW Raman laser. The diamond Raman laser was intracavity pumped within a Nd:YVO 4 laser. At the Raman laser wavelength of 1240nm, CW output powers of 1.6W and a slope efficiency with respect to the absorbed diode-laser pump power (at 808nm) of ~18% were measured. In quasi-CW operation, maximum on-time output powers of 2.8W (slope efficiency ~24%) were observed, resulting in an absorbed diode-laser pump power to the Raman laser output power conversion efficiency of 13%.

“…An alternative approach -and the focus of considerable recent research -is the crystalline Raman laser [2][3][4]. This technique uses stimulated Raman scattering [5] wavelength of the input laser.…”

“…As a result, intracavity Raman lasers contain two thermal lenses -one in the conventional laser material and one within the Raman material. The interplay of these lenses complicates the engineering of higher power continuous-wave Raman lasers [3]. This is compounded by the low thermal conductivity of common Raman laser crystals.…”
