Stimulated Raman scattering of dye laser radiation in hydrogen. Improvement of spectral purity
Abstract
The single-pass stimulated Raman scattering of pulsed dye laser radiation in hydrogen was studied with respect to the exciting wavelength and power, beam focusing and gas pressure. A quantum efficiency of more than 80% was obtained. It is shown that the spectral purity of the first Stokes component is at least 10 3 times higher than that of the dye laser output.
