|February 14, 2015
Abstract:
Single-frequency crystalline Raman amplifications at 1178 nm were demonstrated. The seeding laser was generated from a single-frequency continuous wave fiber Raman amplifier. Three stages of Raman amplifications from CaWO4 single crystals were realized with a pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser as the pumping source. The final output pulse energy at 1178 nm was 26.7 mJ, and the pulse width was 2.9 ns, corresponding to a peak power of 5.2 MW. The overall Raman amplification ratio was up to 4.6×10(6). The linewidth was less than 500 MHz.

A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...

The underlying principle of Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter, specifically molecules' inelastic scattering of photons. When a monochromatic beam of light, typically from a laser source, interacts with a sample, most scattered light has the same frequency as the incident light. This is known as Rayleigh scattering.
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and...
