title: Raman shifting of Nd:YAP laser radiation with a Brillouin resonator coupled with a Raman half-resonator.
abstract: We demonstrate the efficient generation of first Stokes Raman radiation using a Brillouin resonator coupled with a Raman half-resonator. A Raman laser at the eye-safe wavelength of 1.575 mum in high-pressure CH(4) gas was generated from a passively Q-switched Nd:YAP laser. Raman conversion efficiencies of as much as 55% were obtained at a pressure of 800 psi.
