A high power widely tunable infra-red source based on stimulated electronic Raman scattering in Caesium vapour

Dye lasers pumped by the second harmonic of a ruby laser have been used to produce tunable stimulated electronic Raman scattering in caesium vapour. Using three different Raman transitions, the infrared tuning ranges were 2.5 -4.75µm. 5.67-8.65µm and 11.7-15µm with powers of up to 25kW, 7kW and 2kW...
