Scaling Studies of Efficient Raman Converters.

Abstract

This report contains the results of analytical and experimental work which address various technical issues relevant to the scalability of a Raman converter system to higher pulse energy and repetition rate for submarine laser communications applications. Specific areas investigated included heated XeF laser injection locking, repetitively-pulsed XeF laser Raman converter design, and scaling studies of Raman amplifiers in regard to conversion efficiency and beam quality.
