Broadly tuneable crystalline Raman lasers
… of a continuous-wave third-Stokes crystalline Raman laser. This was achieved via intracavity Raman conversion of a vertical external cavity surface emitting laser (VECSEL), also known as a semiconductor disk laser (SDL). The VECSEL-pumped Raman laser achieved Watt-level output and broad …

Investigating physical properties of novel carbon-based materials
… graphitic foams. The experimental technique of Raman laser spectroscopy yields structural information about all of these materials that we are investigating, including how the covalent bonds between the carbon atoms in the base of the material change in the presence of metal doping (in the case …

Dynamics in a Fermi lattice gas
… a Fermi-Hubbard optical lattice model by applied Raman laser fields. This correlated tunneling involves spin-flips and the generation of doublons, which have been observed experimentally. We also confirmed that the amplitude of correlated tunneling is suppressed when neighboring lattice sites are …

Experiments with synthetic spin-orbit coupling and spin transport in Bose Einstein Condensates
… (SOC) is created with counter propagating Raman lasers which couple hyperfine sub-levels and momentum states of <sup>87</sup><em>Rb,</em> allowing us to engineer spin dependent vector potentials. Quickly lowering the Raman laser intensity, decreases the spin-orbit Raman coupling strength …

Characteristic Raman Bands of Amino Acids and Halophiles as Biomarkers in Planetary Exploration
… focus for future missions, including use of the Raman Laser Spectrometer (RLS) instrument on board the ESA ExoMars rover for this purpose. Martian simulation chambers were used to expose a subset of the α-amino acids (AA) and halophilic (‘salt-loving’) microbes to the surface and near surface …

Thermal and spectral effects in intracavity Raman lasers
Stimulated Raman scattering is a convenient way to extend the spectral coverage of well-established solid-state laser sources. In an intracavity Raman laser, a Raman crystal is placed inside the cavity of the fundamental laser, and the output frequency is red-shifted by an amount corresponding to a …

Magnetic field reversal effect in inter-Landau level absorption and simulated spin-flip Raman scattering in n-type InSb
… Experiments were carried out on the spin-flip Raman laser to examine crystal anisotropy. An important feature of this research is the prediction and observation of a striking magnetic field reversal effect in the inter-Landau level magnetoabsorption in n-InSb. The magnitude of the absorption …

High-power cladding-pumped Raman and erbium-ytterbium doped fibre sources
Raman fibres and rare-earth doped silica fibres have been investigated for many years as gain media for the amplification of optical signals in telecommunications thanks to their broad gain bandwidth. They are now widely used for that application. It is only recently that power scaling of fibre …
