Continuously tunable diamond Raman laser for resonance ionization experiments at CERN

2019

We demonstrate a highly efficient, continuously tunable, diamond Raman laser operating in the blue region of the spectrum. The linewidth and tunability characteristics of a frequency-doubled Ti:Sapphire laser were transferred directly to the Stokes output, offering great potential for spectroscopic applications using an all-solid-state platform.

Continuously tunable diamond Raman laser for resonance laser ionization.

2019

We demonstrate a highly efficient, tunable, ∼5 GHz line- width diamond Raman laser operating at 479 nm. The diamond laser was pumped by a wavelength-tunable intra- cavity frequency-doubled titanium sapphire (Ti:Sapphire) laser operating at around 450 nm, at a repetition rate of 10 kHz with a pulse duration of 50 ns. The Raman reso- nator produced a continuously tunable output with high stability, high conversion efficiency (28%), and beam quality (M$^{2}$ <1.2). We also demonstrate that the linewidth and tunability of the pump laser is directly transferred to the Stokes output. Our results show that diamond Raman lasers offer great potential for spectroscopic applications, such as resonance…
