ABSTRACT:
A lasing medium (3) and a Raman medium (20) share a common optical cavity. The lasing medium (3) projects laser light into the Raman medium (20) and, when a threshold intensity within the Raman medium is reached, the Raman medium absorbs the laser light and re-radiates coherent light at a shifted frequency. Optical elements within the system provide an optical cavity for the lasing medium and a second cavity for the Raman medium.
