Phase conjugation and pulse compression of KrF-laser radiation by stimulated Raman scattering.
An experimental investigation of phase conjugation and pulse compression by stimulated Raman scattering in methane gas using a narrow-linewidth KrF-laser pump is presented. Good spatial reproduction of the pump beam is observed at reflectivities of up to 80%. With a pump-pulse duration of 25 nsec, backward Stokes pulses of 5-nsec duration with 40% of the 100-mJ pump energy were obtained.
