Writing in Optics Letters, David Spence and his co-workers from Macquarie University in Australia report the first picosecond pulse, mode-locked diamond Raman laser emitting at 573 nm (ref.

have made monolithic diamond Raman lasers a commercial reality, allowing the generation of wavelengths not easily available with existing technology. In the realm of quantum applications ...

The team's work, published in Physical Review Applied, introduces a tabletop deep-ultraviolet (DUV) laser that can excite and probe nanoscale transport behaviors in materials such as diamond.
