Stimulated Raman Scattering in Yttrium, Gadolinium, and Calcium Orthovanadate Crystals with Single and Combined Frequency Shifts under Synchronous Picosecond Pumping for Sub-Picosecond or Multi-Wavelength Generation around 1.2 mu m

Original language description

Comparative investigation of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) characteristics in the YVO4, GdVO4, and Ca-3(VO4)(2) orthovanadate crystals at both low and high frequency anionic group vibrations is presented. It was found that GdVO4 is the most perspective for SRS generation on both the nu(1) stretching and nu(2) bending modes of internal anionic group vibrations with the strongest SRS pulse shortening under synchronous picosecond pumping. It is as a result of GdVO4's widest linewidth (17cm(-1)) of the homogeneously broadened scheelite-type component of the bending nu(2) Raman line that led to the strongest SRS pulse shortening down to the dephasing time of the widest (scheelite-type) Raman mode at the secondary intracavity short-shifted SRS conversion. It allowed us to achieve SRS pulses with sub-picosecond duration under tens-of-picoseconds pumping due to the strongest 42-fold pulse shortening. Using the Ca-3(VO4)(2) crystal with essentially wider Raman lines (similar to 50cm(-1)) did not allow us to generate SRS pulses shorter than 1 ps. It can be explained by inhomogeneous broadening of the Raman lines in Ca-3(VO4)(2) because of its structural disordering. Using the measured SRS pulse duration, the homogeneous broadening of the inhomogeneously broadened bending Raman line of Ca-3(VO4)(2) was estimated to be similar to 9cm(-1). Among the orthovanadate crystals, the YVO4 crystal with the highest Raman gain and with homogeneously broadened Raman lines allowed us to realize the most efficient SRS lasing and SRS pulse shortening truly down to inverse half-width of the bending Raman line.
