Multiphoton SRS-Lasing in a Monoclinic β-BaYb2F8 Crystal

Аннотация

The discovery of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in monoclinic fluoride β-BaYb₂F₈ known as a host matrix for Ln³⁺ lasant ions was reported. All the recorded spectral components of Stokes and anti-Stokes χ⁽³⁾-nonlinear picosecond generation were assigned to the three SRS-active photon A_g- and B_g-modes of a crystal (ω_SRS1 ~ 362 cm^–1, ω_SRS2 ~ 295 cm^–1, and ω_SRS3 ~ 230 cm^–1).
