Multiple Stokes and anti-stokes picosecond generation, cw laser action at wavelengths of two stimulated-emission channels 4F3/2→ 4I11/2 and 4F3/2→ 4I13/2, and nanosecond self-SRS lasing in undoped and nd3+-doped tetragonal PbMoO4 crystals

Spectroscopic, laser, and x (3) -nonlinear optical properties of undoped and Nd 3+ -doped tetragonal PbMoO 4 were investigated. For the first time cw lasing in the two 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 11/2 and 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 13/2 channels, and picosecond high-order Stokes and anti-Stokes generation in this molybdate were excited. All observed laser and scattering wavelengths were identified.
