  • Abstract
    We report an efficient CW far-off-resonance Raman laser in H2 gas pumped by an injection-locked broad-area diode laser. The pump wavelength 794 nm is Raman shifted to the Stokes wavelength 1185 nm. The total output Stokes power reaches 21.6±0.5 mW and the photon conversion efficiency reaches (74±10)%.
