Abstract
Ve demonstrate an order-of-magnitude increase in the efficiency for fi rst-Stokes Raman generation in a gas cell (CH4) by seeding with sponta neous emission from a dye cell. Second-Stokes and first-anti-Stokes li nes were also generated more efficiently. The pump energy required for production of a 1% conversion efficiency for the first-Stokes emissio n is reduced by a factor of 1.8 below that required without seeding.
