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.
