High efficiency and high brightness Raman conversion of dye laser radiation

A technique for efficient Raman conversion of an excimer pumped dye laser is described, based on the use of a Raman oscillator/amplifier combination. A photon conversion efficiency of 90% to first Stokes is demonstrated, with diffraction-limited beam quality.
