Abstract

The tunable operation of an all solid-state diode pumped Raman laser on a Yb:KYW crystal is demonstrated. The possibility of a simultaneous tunable operation for laser generation in the 1029–1032 nm range and Stokes generation in the 1136–1139 nm range is shown. A slope efficiency of 12% and a maximum average power of 14.5 mW were achieved for the Stokes output.
