We report a pulsed Raman laser at 1193nm based on synthetic diamond crystals with a
record output power of 24.5 W and a slope efficiency of 57%. We compared the performance …

Stimulated Raman-scattering-based lasers provide an effective way to achieve wavelength
conversion. However, thermally induced beam degradation is a notorious obstacle to power …

A continuous-wave diamond Raman laser is demonstrated with an output power of 5.1 W at
1217 nm. This Raman laser is intracavity pumped by a side-pumped Nd: YLF rod laser: a 43 …

An external cavity diamond Raman laser with 1.2 kW output power is demonstrated for
durations 7 times longer than the thermal lens time constant. An 83% slope efficiency and a …

We report a second Stokes diamond Raman laser at 1.49 μm capable of high power and
large-scale-factor brightness enhancement. Using a quasi-continuous 1.06 μm pump of …

We report an efficient 532 nm pumped external cavity diamond Raman laser generating
output chiefly at the 573 nm first Stokes. At a pulse repetition rate of 5 kHz, the Raman laser …

An external-cavity diamond Raman laser generating up to 2.0 W at 1240nm from 3.3 W of
1064nm pump power is investigated as a function of pump polarization direction. The …

We report a diamond Raman laser that is continuously-tunable across the range from 590
nm to 625 nm producing continuous wave output with up to 8 W. The system is based on an …
