使其能够在机械, 光学和材料学等领域满足诸多极端条件的应用需求. 近年来随着化学气相沉积 …

The past two decades have seen great advances in developing color centers in diamond for
sensing, quantum information processing, and tests of quantum foundations. Increasingly …

For the first time, lasing at NV− centers in an optically pumped diamond sample is achieved.
A nanosecond train of 150-ps 532-nm laser pulses was used to pump the sample. The …

Synthetic single-crystal diamond has recently emerged as a promising platform for Raman
lasers at exotic wavelengths due to its giant Raman shift, large transparency window, and …

Laser gain materials possessing high thermal conductivity and robust mechanical properties
are key prerequisites for high power lasers. We show that diamond, when configured as a …

We report high‐power frequency conversion of a Yb‐doped fiber laser using a double‐pass
pumped external‐cavity diamond Raman oscillator. Pumping with circular polarization is …

Stimulated emission is the process fundamental to laser operation, thereby producing
coherent photon output. Despite negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) centres being …

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 present a synchronously pumped diamond Raman laser operating at 275.7 nm pumped
by the 4th harmonic of a mode locked Nd: YVO_4 laser. The laser had a threshold pump …
