Abstract
In light of possible spectroscopic applications, we examine the continuous frequency tuning characteristics of a nonresonant continuous-wave Raman las er in Hz. We demonstrate a continuous tuning range for the Raman-shifted St okes output of roughly 2.5 GHz, which is limited by spatial mode hops. Near ly constant output power across this range is predicted and observed by pum ping the Raman laser cavity near four times threshold. (C) 2000 Optical Soc iety of America [S0740-3224(00)01307-2].
