Abstract
The polarization behaviour of the output of a Ne Raman laser at 603.0 nm (2p(2) --> Is(4)) that is generated when a commercial internal-mirr or helium-neon laser is pumped at 588.2 nm (Is(5) --> 2p(2)) is invest igated experimentally. The dependence on pump laser detuning from atom ic resonance and the cavity length are presented. Complex switching in cluding polarization competition and oscillatory behaviour associated with switch-on of the Raman lasing action is found.
