Stimulated Raman scattering properties of KDP crystal

In this paper the spontaneous Raman spectrum and stimulated Raman spectrum of potassium dihychogen phosphate (KDP) crystals were compared in detail. In the stimulated Raman spectrum three Stokes lines of the strongest vibration mode, which are 559.43 nm, 589.74 nm, 623.5 nm respectively, were observed. The Stokes lines for other vibration modes didnt appear due to the smaller stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) gain coefficient. In addition, we also compared the gain coefficients of KDP crystal grown by traditional growth method (including annealing and annealing samples) and rapid growth method (including the pyramidal and prismatic sectors samples). The results indicate that the growth method and annealing have no obvious impact on the SRS gain coefficient.
