A high power short pulse stimulated Raman source at 1.54µm

An actively modelocked Q-switched Nd:YAG laser produces efficient stimulated Raman scattering in high pressure methane using a Raman oscillator/amplifier configuration. First Stokes output at 1.54 µm is generated up to 30 MW in a single pulse of ~40ps duration. Good temporal and spatial coherence is...
