An intra-cavity RbTiOPO (RTP) cascade Raman laser was demonstrated for efficient multi-order Stokes emission. An acousto-optic Q-switched Nd:YAlO laser at 1.08 μm was used as the pump source and a 20-mm-long x-cut RTP crystal was used as the Raman medium to meet the X(Z,Z)X Raman configuration.

The multi-wavelength laser of the first Stokes radiation around 1.08 μm has been achieved with a Raman shift of 261 cm for a-cut Nd:YVO crystal corresponding to the fundamental wavelength at 1.

Its disordered crystalline nature exhibits a broad gain bandwidth of 30 nm with a high-emission cross section. It also has higher thermal and mechanical properties than Nd:glass.

The Raman outputs of two x-cut KTA crystals, one with a length of 20 mm and the other one of 25-mm, were experimentally compared. Under an incident pump power of 10.
