Abstract

We present an external-cavity potassium yttrium tungstate (KYW) second-Stokes Raman laser with strong pulse compression capability. A linearly polarized 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser is used as the pump source with a pulse width of 236 ns and a repetition frequency of 10 kHz. Under the maximum pump power of 22 W, the Stokes output power of 1.06 W is obtained at 1318 nm with a slope efficiency of 8.5 %, and the corresponding pulse width is reduced to 24 ns with a compression ratio of ∼10. And the generation process of second-Stokes pulse is simulated theoretically based on the steady-state stimulated Raman coupled wave theory. As far as we know, this is the first watt-level second-Stokes Raman laser based on KYW crystal. In addition, the cross-cascade mechanism of second-Stokes is studied among 905 cm⁻¹, 765 cm⁻¹ and 87 cm⁻¹ modes, which demonstrates the potential of KYW crystal in multi-wavelength Raman lasers.

期刊介绍： Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
