title: Controllable pulse compression in a multiple-pass-cell Raman laser.
abstract: Pulse compression has been observed with the 16-microm multiple-pass-cell hydrogen Raman laser. The effect, which also leads to high quantum conversion of the pump radiation, has been analyzed and is a result of beam crossings inherent in the geometry of the device.
