Stimulated Raman scattering in “garnet” Lu3Al5O12 ceramics – a novel host‐materiel for Ln‐ and TM‐lasant ions

In this paper are present results of the first investigation of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the "garnet" Lu3Al5O12 crystalline ceramics, which is promising host-material for activator lasants. With picoseconds laser excitation at 0.53207 mu m wavelength was observed and analyzed highorder Stokes and anti-Stokes generation related to two. (3)promoting vibration modes (approximate to 792 and approximate to 375 cm(-1)) of this novel SRS-active oxide material. A brief review of the pioneering papers on lasers based on Lu3Al5O12:Ln(3+) single crystals and known SRS-active crystalline "garnet" materials is given in tabular form as well.
