Abstract :
We report the generation of a comb of emission wavelengths in the near-infrared, and wavelength-tunable emission at up to five discrete wavelengths in the visible between 534 nm and 572 nm by making use of cascaded stimulated Raman scattering in potassium titnyl phosphate in combination with Nd:GdVO4 and Nd:YLF laser crystals.
