Abstract

High-repetition-pulse-rate nanosecond laser system is developed. It is based on Raman lasers with barium nitrate and KGW crystals. The minimum Raman threshold of laser generation corresponds to only 0.2-0.4 kW of peak pumping power. The laser system generates the radiation at 22 wavelengths in the 280-1600 nm spectral range with average powers from several mW to 1.4 W. The maximum Raman conversion efficiency reaches 40 %. The minimum spectral width of the generated radiation is equal to 0.1 cm^-1. This laser system can be used for spectroscopy studies, medicine, and for other applications.
