Abstract: The results are presented of calculating the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of femtosecond pulses in a periodic structure consisting of alternating quarter-wave plates of fused silica and a Nd:KGW crystal. The analysis of the calculations shows that efficient SRS conversion of the pump can be obtained only if the density of the electromagnetic field states is increased by varying the spectral properties of the periodic structure.
