Abstract
We demonstrate a diode-pumped cw Raman laser in with photon-conversion efficiency of . Pumped by an injection-locked diode laser at 792 nm, the Stokes laser produces a peak output power of at 1180 nm. Accompanying the high Stokes power are deviations from the existing theory, which are believed to be caused by the thermal-lensing effect of the Raman gas.
