Abstract

The characters of stimulated Raman scattering of BaWO4 crystal excited by a picoseconds laser at 1064 nm are studied based on optical parametric amplification (OPA). Up to six-order Stokes components and five-order anti-Stokes components are observed. The SRS components are amplified by an OPA and the wavelength tunable range from 411 to 2594 nm is achieved with a maximum conversion efficiency of 38% using the OPA stage.
