An Efficient Diamond Raman Amplification Scheme Based on Adaptive Temporal Synchronization
Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.This work reveals an adaptive temporal synchronization effect in delayed diamond Raman amplification, where the Stokes pulse shifts toward the fundamental peak. A periodic amplification scheme based on this phenomenon enables efficient pump recycling and enhanced energy conversion, offering a robust, delay‐tolerant strategy for advanced nonlinear ...
