ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a cascade Raman laser including a pumping laser light source that generates pumping light, a cascade Raman resonator having an input-side optical reflector that receives the pumping light and selectively reflects light of each wavelength corresponding to a n-th Stokes ray (n is an integer more than 1) of Raman scattering to the pumping light, a Raman optical fiber that is connected to the input-side optical reflector and generates Raman scattering light at least by the pumping light and an output-side optical reflector that is connected to the Raman optical fiber and selectively reflects light of each wavelength corresponding to the n-th Stokes ray and a blocking device interposed between the pumping laser light source and the cascade Raman resonator and blocks the first Stokes ray generated within the cascade Raman resonator from entering the pumping laser light source side.
