Abstract:
We have synthesised a new SRS-active LaBWO6 tungstate crystal with a high steady-state Raman gain (less than 2.8 cm GW-1) and ability to generate a multicomponent Stokes and anti-Stokes comb in the visible and near-IR spectral regions, with a length of ~13010 cm-1. The newly found photon – phonon nonlinear χ(3) processes in known SRS- and laser-active tungstate crystals are briefly described in tables.
Keywords:LaBWO6 tungstate crystal, χ(3) nonlinearity, stimulated Raman scattering, frequency comb.
