Raman laser with controllable suppression of parasitics

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5328909

An apparatus is described for producing a high intensity Raman laser pulse. The apparatus consists of: a Raman accumulator having first and second parallel side walls; a pump cell, spaced apart from the accumulator and containing a medium capable of producing a highly directional, substantially monochromatic radiation pulse of frequency ..nu../sub p/; a first mirror, positioned adjacent to the accumulator and substantially fully reflecting at frequencies ..nu../sub p/ and THETA/sub s/; a Stokes cell, adjacent to the pump cell and spaced apart from the accumulator; radiation source means, spaced apart from the accumulator, for producing a highly directional; a second mirror that is substantially fully reflecting for radiation at frequency ..nu../sub 2//sub s/.
