The observation of a stimulated electronic Raman scattering (SERS) on 3s–4s transition in sodium vapor pumped by a PTP dye laser is reported. Infrared output (Stokes) tunable from 2.38 μm to 2.65 μm has been obtained as the dye laser is tuned from 334.0 nm to 338.8 nm. Maximum photon conversion efficiency is about 30%.

Stimulated electronic Raman scattering in potassium vapor is observed. The primary source was a nitrobenzene Raman-shifted ruby laser. The secondary beam frequency occurs 58 cm−1 to the high energy side of νp.

Stimulated excited-state Raman scattering and three-photon scattering in sodium

We have observed stimulated emission from Na vapor excited by a laser tuned near the Na D lines. The stimulated-emission processes have been identified as Rayleigh scattering, excited-state Raman scattering, and ordinary as well as resonance-enhanced three-photon scattering. The observations indicate that at least part of the conical emission observed in many systems has its origin in these processes.
