Abstract
An intracavity Q-switched Nd:YAG/CH4 Raman laser is realized based on the configuration of a negative-branch confocal unstable resonator. A numerical model of the bare resonator was introduced to simulate the fundamental transverse mode and calculate the loss of the fundamental resonator. With different magnifications of the fundamental resonator, the first Stokes output energy was presented as a function of the discharge voltage. The influence of the Stokes resonator on Raman conversion was analyzed. With a fundamental resonator magnification of 1.1, a maximum output energy of 58Â mJ was obtained, and the corresponding photon conversion efficiency was 48%.
