Synchronously pumped intracavity YLF-Nd-KGW picosecond Raman lasers and LiF:F-2 amplifiers

Passively mode‐locked lamp‐pumped Nd3+:KGd(WO4)2 and Nd3+:YLiF4–KGd(WO4)2 lasers were investigated. Stimulated Raman radiation in KGW crystal with tunable 1138.4, 1156, 1180 nm wavelengths was obtained under intra‐cavity synchronous laser pumping. Laser Stokes pulses were amplified with 27–33% energ...

Zusammenfassung:	Passively mode‐locked lamp‐pumped Nd3+:KGd(WO4)2 and Nd3+:YLiF4–KGd(WO4)2 lasers were investigated. Stimulated Raman radiation in KGW crystal with tunable 1138.4, 1156, 1180 nm wavelengths was obtained under intra‐cavity synchronous laser pumping. Laser Stokes pulses were amplified with 27–33% energy efficiency in a simple scheme under synchronous picosecond laser pumping of LiF:F–2 crystals and ∼2 ps pulses with 0.2–0.37 GW peak power were attained.
