Wideband frequency conversion in the UV by nine orders of stimulated Raman scattering in a XeCl laser pumped multimode silica fiber

Abstract

Efficient wideband frequency conversion of the UV XeCl excimer laser wavelength has been accomplished by stimulated Raman scattering in a multimode UV silica fiber. Nine Stokes orders have been generated in the 308–350-nm spectral region at 650-kW input power.
