Abstract

Stimulated polariton scattering (SPS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in ${{\rm RbTiOPO}_4}$ (RTP) crystal are combined in an intracavity-pumped Stokes parametric oscillator (SPO) to extend the tunable Stokes laser spectral range. The pumping laser wavelength is 1064 nm from a diode-end-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. By the SPS process in the SPO, the SPS-Stokes wave can be discontinuously tuned in the range of 1075.7–1076.0 nm, 1077.7–1080.4 nm, 1081.8–1082.2 nm, and 1084.8–1087.8 nm, respectively. By the following SRS process in the same RTP crystal, the laser wavelength is further shifted in the range of 1107.7–1108.1 nm, 1109.0–1112.7 nm, 1114.3–1115.1 nm, and 1117.8–1121.1 nm, respectively. A maximal average output power of 970 mW is achieved for the SRS-Stokes wave at the peak wavelength of 1118.8 nm. It is obtained when the diode power is 7.9 W, and the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is 10 kHz.
