Abstract
We demonstrate a cw, laser diode-pumped crystalline Raman laser. First Stokes laser output at of was achieved with a diode-to-first Stokes efficiency of 8.7%. With intracavity frequency doubling in , of cw yellow emission at was obtained with a 12.4% diode-to-yellow efficiency. The experimental results show that is an excellent stimulated Raman scattering gain material for high-power cw near-IR Stokes and yellow lasers.
