abstract: The longest wavelength ~1.4 um) emitted by a diamond Raman laser pumped by a semiconductor disk laser (SDL) is reported. The output power of the intracavity pumped Raman laser reached a maximum of 2.3 W with an optical conversion efficiency of 3.4% with respect to the absorbed diode pump power. Narrow Stokes emission (FWHM <0.1 nm) was attained using etalons to limit the fundamental spectrum to a single etalon peak. Tuning of the Raman laser over >40 nm was achieved via rotation of an intracavity birefringent filter that tuned the SDL oscillation wavelength.

abstract: Continuous wave operation of a diamond Raman laser is demonstrated. Low birefringence synthetic single crystal diamond is used and is intracavity pumped by a Nd:YVO(4) laser. A cw output power of 200 mW is achieved at the Raman wavelength (1240 nm) and 1.6 W of on time output power is obtained in quasi cw mode. Losses in the diamond (approximately 1% per pass) and thermal effects in the Nd:YVO(4) limit the efficiency.

abstract: Continuous wave operation of a diamond Raman laser, intracavity pumped by a diode pumped InGaAs semiconductor disk laser (SDL) is reported. The Raman laser, which utilized a 6.5 mm long synthetic single crystal diamond, reached threshold for 5.3 W of diode laser pump power absorbed by the SDL. Output power up to 1.3 W at the first Stokes wavelength of 1227 nm was demonstrated with excellent beam quality and optical conversion efficiency of 14.4% with respect to absorbed diode laser pump power. Broad tuning of the Raman laser output between 1217 and 1244 nm was achieved via intracavity tuning of the SDL oscillation wavelength.

abstract: Recent developments in diamond synthesis have enabled the growth of high optical quality material. This opens the way for intracavity applications in lasers [1] and in particular the exploitation of diamond's exceptional thermal conductivity. This is best done by placing the diamond as close as possible to the heat source, and ideally using it as the gain material in its own right. In this report, we present the first multi watt >5 W) continuous wave (cw) laser based on diamond. This diamond Raman laser exploits diamond's high Raman gain. Raman lasers are usually pumped by high peak power pulsed lasers [2] and indeed Feve et al. recently demonstrated a 25W pulsed diamond Raman laser [3] By contrast, we fully exploit the high optical quality of state of the art synthetic diamond to enable multi watt CW operation.

abstract: We report a diamond Raman ring cavity laser resonantly pumped by a tunable Ti:sapphire continuous wave laser. We characterize the laser operation generating first Stokes output and, for the first time, generate second Stokes lasing at a maximum output power of 364 mW with 33.4% slope efficiency at 1101.3 nm. Single longitudinal mode operation is achieved for all first Stokes output powers, but only for lower output powers for second Stokes operation. We discuss possible reasons preventing single longitudinal mode operation.

abstract: We report a high brightness cascaded Stokes diamond Raman laser with a diffraction limited beam quality pumped by an Yd doped fiber laser. The Raman laser operated at 1477 nm and reached an output power of 63 W with 214 W pump power in continuous wave mode. Conversion efficiency over 30% was achieved using a single pump pass concentric cavity that was highly resonant at the first Stokes and had high outcoupling at the second Stokes (45% Thermal limitations were investigated as well as the temporal behavior of the first and second Stokes intra cavity power.
