ABSTRACT:
A device utilizing lasers wherein efficient wavelength shifting of the generated laser radiation is provided using stimulated Raman scattering both in atomic vapor and molecular media. A coupled pair of confocal unstable resonators in conjuction with an integral injection laser is utilized in a novel optical arrangement for providing the efficient conversion of laser power into Stokes radiation without beam obscurations. The wavelength, spectral bandwidth, polarization and beam divergence are controlled by the spatial evolution of the main laser output which is locked to the seed radiation provided along the optical axis by the injection laser. Mode matching of the wavefront is automatically achieved by the use of common optical surfaces which couple the injection laser, main laser and the Raman converter. The resulting Stokes output through a partially reflecting/transmitting mirror is an unobscured beam whose intensity profile is determined by the laser medium power distribution.
