β¦ Synopsis
The efficient second-Stokes generation at 1120 nm is obtained from a KTiOAsO4 (KTA) crystal. The relative Raman scattering cross sections of KTA with respect to YVO 4 are determined by studying their spontaneous Raman scattering spectra at room temperature. A 30-mm-long KTA crystal is placed inside the cavity of a diode-end-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. With a pump power of 6.7 W and a pulse repetition rate of 20 kHz, the second-Stokes (1120 nm) power of 0.63 W is obtained, corresponding to a diode-to-second-Stokes conversion efficiency of 9.4%. Total output Raman power, W 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 0.7 0.8 0.

Multiple Stokes and anti-Stokes generation in the monoclinic tungstate MnWO~4~was observed under one-micron picosecond excitation. All the recorded Raman induced laser lines were identified and attributed to the SRS-promoted vibration mode (at β 879 cm^-1^) of the crystal.
