Abstract :
Summary form only given. The far-off-resonance cw Raman laser utilizing high-finesse cavity (HFC) enhancement is a recent development for laser frequency down-conversion. In this paper we report for the first time a cw Raman laser with a pure rotational Stokes emission. An external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) with 30 mW maximum output power and 792 nm center wavelength is used as the pump laser.
