Spectrum transformation of a chirped Ti:sapphire laser pulse stretched to 0.2 ns (initial duration of a transform-limited pulse of 90 fs) was experimentally studied in a tandem of BaWO4 crystals. To increase stimulated Raman scattering efficiency, broadband laser emission was used as a seed of this process. Efficiency of the Stokes component generation corresponding to the BaWO4 crystal phonon mode ν1(Ag) ≈ 925 cm–1 reached ~10%. Generation of the Stokes component corresponding to the weaker phonon mode ν3(Eg) ≈ 795 cm–1 and second Stokes components of ν1(Ag) and ν3(Eg) modes was observed. Mechanisms reducing the stimulated Raman scattering efficiency for the ν1(Ag) mode are discussed.
