Aa. Kaminskii et al., EFFICIENT STIMULATED RAMAN-SCATTERING IN TETRAGONAL LASER CRYSTALLINEHOSTS NABI(MOO4)(2) AND NABI(WO4)(2), JPN J A P 2, 34(11A), 1995, pp. 1461-1463
The efficient Raman scattering in two tetragonal laser crystalline hos
ts with disordered structure has been studied by Q-switched infrared l
aser pulse excitation. Raman spectra show that such disordered crystal
s have larger cross sections than those of typical ordered crystals. T
he effective Raman gain coefficients were estimated as (9 +/- 4) cm/GW
for NaBi(MoO4)(2) (across c-axis) and as (8 +/- 4) cm/GW for NaBi(WO4
)(2).
