Abstract

${\mathrm{BaTeMo}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_9$ (BTM) is employed to achieve efficient stimulated Raman scattering conversion in a diode end-pumped acousto-optically $Q$-switched Nd:YAG laser. With an incident diode power of 8.6 W, 732 mW of 1179 nm first-Stokes average output power was generated at a pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz, corresponding to a diode-to-Raman conversion efficiency of 8.5%.
