Description

This paper gives details of a new, simple and efficient laser source at 630 nm with an average power of 300 mW, based on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) from an organic liquid, and with the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser as a pump source. What we have developed here can be fabricated as a module that can be added to a Nd:YAG laser, commonly available in laser clinics, for an effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) of caner. The same source would become a convenient tool for a pulsed hologram. (author)
