Abstract

A new effect of the pulse shortening of the parametrically generated radiation down to hundreds of picosecond via depletion of pumping of intracavity Raman conversion in the miniature passively Q-switched Nd:\(\hbox {SrMoO}_{4}\) parametric self-Raman laser with the increasing energy of the shortened pulse under pulsed pumping by a high-power laser diode bar is demonstrated. The theoretical estimation of the depletion stage duration of the convertible fundamental laser radiation via intracavity Raman conversion is in agreement with the experimentally demonstrated duration of the parametrically generated pulse. Using the mathematical modeling of the pulse shortening quality and quantity deterioration is disclosed, and the solution ways are found by the optimization of the laser parameters.
