Abstract
We report an efficient transient stimulated Raman conversion of high-energy picosecond pulses at 1350 nm into the eye-safe 1500-nm wavelength range by use of a crystal. The conversion efficiency into either 1503- or 1537-nm radiation (767- or Raman modes, respectively) is measured to be in a single-pass configuration. The transient Raman gain coefficient is found to be . Simultaneous generation of multiple Raman lines is also observed.
