Abstract

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in hydrogen has been used to efficiently convert ultraviolet XeF laser energy at 353 nm to both the first Stokes at 414 nm and to the second Stokes at 500 nm. Experiments with visible dye lasers have shown that the wavefront of a low intensity input beam at the first Stokes wavelength can be preserved as the beam is amplified. These results indicate that SRS techniques can be used to correct for some laser system and propagation path phase aberrations while shifting the output wavelength to regions with lower propagation losses.
