High-order stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and cascaded χ^(3)^ → χ^(2)^ generation effects in new nonlinear-laser crystals of PbB~4~O~7~ were observed with picosecond laser pumping. All registered χ^(3)^- and χ^(2)^-lasing components in the visible and near-IR were identified and attributed to the

✦ Synopsis
Different nonlinear optical interactions in a novel SRS-active non-centrosymmetric tetragonal crystal Ca 2 ZnSi 2 O 7 were investigated at room and cryogenic (≈ 9 K) temperature under picosecond laser pumping. In addition to measuring octave-spanning Stokes and anti-Stokes combs we observed several cascaded and cross-cascaded χ (3) ↔ χ (3) effects involving several SRS-active phonons. All recorded Raman-induced lasing lines in the visible and near-IR range are identified and attributed to the SRS-promoting vibration transitions. A brief review of SRS-and Nd 3+ -doped laser-active melilite-type crystals is given as well.
