摘要

Stimulated Raman scattering is conventionally studied in high-power and pulsed laser regimes. Continuous-wave (cw) Raman lasers have been realized but they have to operate near a molecular/atomic resonance utilizing the high Raman gain. The first non-resonant cw Raman laser was demonstrated by Brasseur, et al. in 1998. In this system, a frequency doubled cw Nd:YAG laser at 532nm was used as the pump source. The extremely low Raman gain far off resonance was compensated by placing the Raman gas between the mirrors of a high-finesse cavity (HFC). By high-reflective (HR) coating the HFC mirrors for both the pump and Stokes wavelengths, a threshold on the order of~lmW was achieved. This indicated the possibility of pumping the cw Raman laser with conventional diode lasers. Roos et al. then demonstrated the first diode-pumped cw Raman laser. A free-running laser diode was optically locked to an HFC and a threshold of 240μW was achieved. Both of these cw Raman laser systems exhibited difficulty in wavelength tuning and the tuning ranges were limited. In this paper we choose an external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) as the Raman pump. Owing to the wide tuning range and wavelength selectivity of the ECDL, we obtain tunable cw Raman-shifted output in the NIR spectral region from 1174 to 1214nm. A 1.5GHz mode-hop-free continuous tuning is currently observed. Combined with its high spectral purity, this ECDL-pumped cw Raman laser becomes an attractive new laser source for high-resolution spectroscopy in the NIR spectral region.
