摘要: A pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 355nm is used to pump Raman cell filled with D_2, D_2/Ar and D_2/He. With adequately adjusted parameters, the maximum photon conversion efficiency of the first-order Stokes light (S_1, 396.796nm) reaches 33.33% in D_2/Ar and the stability of S_1 in pure D_2 is fairly high, the energy drift being less than 10% when the pump energy drifts in the range of 5%. The conversion efficiency and stability, which are functions of the composition and pressure of the Raman medium and the energy of pump laser, are investigated. The result has been used to optimize the laser transmitter system for a differential absorption lidar system to measure NO_2 concentration profiles.

Abstract: A pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 355nm is used to pump Raman cell filled with D$_2$, D$_2$/Ar and D$_2$/He. With adequately adjusted parameters, the maximum photon conversion efficiency of the first-order Stokes light (S$_1$, 396.796nm) reaches 33.33% in D$_2$/Ar and the stability of S$_1$ in pure D$_2$ is fairly high, the energy drift being less than 10% when the pump energy drifts in the range of 5%. The conversion efficiency and stability, which are functions of the composition and pressure of the Raman medium and the energy of pump laser, are investigated. The result has been used to optimize the laser transmitter system for a differential absorption lidar system to measure NO$_2$ concentration profiles.

Key words: stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), conversion efficiency, conversion stability
