Abstract

The process of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) allows one to convert laser emission wavelength of crystals, providing suitable molecular or lattice modes which contribute to third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility. Renewed interest in this field emerged because of the discovery of SRS in crystals that contain molecular units exhibiting Raman active modes. Particularly, organic nonlinear optical crystals used so far for frequency doubling and third harmonic generation seem to have a great potential for SRS application. This review paper reported same results on efficient SRS lasing effects that were discovered recently in organic crystals.
