CONTINUOUS-WAVE STIMULATED RAMAN EMISSION
Abstract
The goal of the program was the elucidation of discrepancies between gains for stimulated Raman emission calculated from Q-switch laser experiments and those calculated from spontaneous Raman scattering cross-sections and line widths. Two lines of approach were followed. One approach was a study to explore beam trapping by extensive theoretical and limited experimental means. The second was an attempt to measure the gain for stimulated Raman emission, at very low fields, with a continuous-wave argon laser. The conclusions were that beam-trapping was responsible for the observed anomalous gains and that no anomalous gain was present at low fields.
