Raman spectroscopy of crystals for stimulated Raman scattering

Abstract Raman frequency shift, line width, integral and peak Raman scattering cross sections were measured in various crystals using spontaneous Raman spectroscopy. The highest Raman gain coefficient in steady state Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) regime was proved to be in barium nitrate crystal; for transient SRS it is expected to be in lithium niobate and tungstate crystals. Barium molybdate crystal is proposed as a new highly efficient Raman material. OCIS : 300.6450; 290.5910; 190.2640
