New manifestations of nonlinear χ(3)-las

New manifestations of nonlinear χ(3)-laser properties in tetragonal YVO4 crystal: many-phonon SRS, cascaded self-frequency “tripling”, and self-sum-frequency generation in blue spectral range with the involving of Stokes components under one-micron picosecondpumping

We discovered several new nonlinear-laser χ (3)properties in tetragonal YVO 4 vanadate, which is well-known birefringent optical material, host-crystal for lanthanide lasant ions, and attractive gain media for Raman laser converters. We hope that observed many-phonon SRS, almost sesqui-octave Stokes
