Stimulated-Raman self-conversion of Nd3+ laser light in double tungstenate crystals
Abstract
A stimulated-Raman self-conversion of Nd(3+) laser light has been observed in KY(WO4)2 and KGd(WO4)2 crystals. Specifically, the emission of Nd(3+) at the fundamental wavelength of 1.06 microns in active elements of crystals of this type is accompanied by the emission of Raman components in the spectral interval 0.97-1.5 microns.
