Raman laser
open-in-new
<p>A Raman laser is a specific type of <a href="/facts/Laser/jk6PTvvT">laser</a> in which the fundamental light-amplification mechanism is <a href="/facts/Raman_effect/obhSpgrR">stimulated Raman scattering</a>. In contrast, most "conventional" lasers (such as the <a href="/facts/Ruby_laser/rhnwSR4T">ruby laser</a>) rely on <a href="/facts/Stimulated_emission/75Q1VIvo">stimulated electronic transitions</a> to amplify light. </p>
