Continuous-wave Raman oscillation for a Nd/sup 3 +/:YAG intracavity fiber laser

Journal Article · · J. Opt. Soc. Am. B: Opt. Phys.; (United States)
Continuous-wave Raman oscillation characteristics of a Nd/sup 3 +/:YAG intracavity fiber laser are described. The laser has two threshold levels: one is for the oscillation of a 1.064-..mu..m Nd/sup 3 +/:YAG laser, and the other is for a fiber Raman laser oscillation of 1.122 ..mu..m. The oscillation of the fiber Raman laser is produced with the aid of optical pumping resulting from the oscillation of the l.064-..mu..m YAG laser, i.e., the optical pumping gain medium and the fiber Raman gain medium share a common laser cavity. For a 330-m-long single-mode fiber resonator configuration, the output power of the fiber Raman laser is about 0.32 m W, which corresponds to about 30% of the 1.064-..mu..m laser power.
