title: Single-longitudinal-mode ring diamond Raman laser.
abstract: We demonstrate a single-longitudinal-mode ring diamond Raman laser, pumped by a tunable single-mode Ti:sapphire laser. Two methods to achieving unidirectional operation have been demonstrated: increasing gain for one direction using a reinjecting mirror and increasing loss for one direction using sum frequency mixing in BBO. Both methods result in a stable single-longitudinal-mode operation.
