ABSTRACT:
An anti-Stokes Raman laser is disclosed which is tunable in the ultraviolet (UV) by utilizing ground state neutral indium atoms as the lasing medium. A photodissociator is utilized to create a metastable indium population and a tunable dye laser is subsequently used to pump the metastable population to an intermediate level. Stimulated anti-Stokes Raman lasing occurs from this intermediate level, thereby generating anti-Stokes Raman emission at 410 nm. Since the dye laser is tunable, the Raman lasing output is tunable over a comparable range.
