Abstract :
Summary form only given. Transitions of the B-X system of molecular iodine are widely used for absolute stabilization of lasers and realization of stepwise tunable secondary frequency standards. When pumped with suitable lasers, also frequency stable Raman lasers can be operated over a wide spectral range. Here investigations on I/sub 2/ Raman lasers pumped by a frequency doubled diode pumped monolithic Nd:YAG laser will be reported.
