A proposal for a random Raman laser

The concept of a random Raman laser is investigated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Stimulated Raman scattering is taken into account by introducing an interaction between Raman and pump photons.

Summary:The concept of a random Raman laser is investigated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Stimulated Raman scattering is taken into account by introducing an interaction between Raman and pump photons. Due to a lack of experimental data on the subject, validation of this model is accomplished via comparison to analytical solutions in the no scattering, no absorption limit. Random Raman lasing is discussed, and several distinctive properties are predicted.
