Diamond, a material marvelled for its strength, beauty and perfection, was first used to polish
stone axes in Neolithic times. This most ancient of materials is now being touted by many as …

Diamond is a material with outstanding properties making it particularly suited for high
added-value applications such as optical windows, power electronics, radiation detection …

Laser gain materials possessing high thermal conductivity and robust mechanical properties
are key prerequisites for high power lasers. We show that diamond, when configured as a …

An external-cavity diamond Raman laser generating up to 2.0 W at 1240nm from 3.3 W of
1064nm pump power is investigated as a function of pump polarization direction. The …

We present a synchronously pumped diamond Raman laser operating at 275.7 nm pumped
by the 4th harmonic of a mode locked Nd: YVO_4 laser. The laser had a threshold pump …

We report a pulsed Raman laser at 1193nm based on synthetic diamond crystals with a
record output power of 24.5 W and a slope efficiency of 57%. We compared the performance …

The extreme properties of diamond make it an exceptional material for a range of
demanding optical applications. However, the use of single crystal diamond in lasers has …

High brightness laser sources with different wavelengths play an important role in the fields
such as defense, industrial, and life sciences etc. However, due to the intrinsic spectral and …

Quasi-cw pumping is used to investigate the high-power characteristics of cw beam
conversion in diamond Raman lasers (DRLs). We show that thermal gradients establish in …

We report continuous-wave beam conversion from 1.06 to 1.49 µm in a diamond Raman
laser operating on the second Stokes shift. High power (114 W) and high conversion …
