The emission of commercial solid-state lasers is shifted by Raman lasers to selected wavelengths suitable for trace gas detection. High power Raman lasers based on Ba(NO3)2, diamond and silicon detect CO2, O3and H2O. Raman lasers base on the physical effect of stimulated Raman scattering. Two new Raman crystals (Spodumene and LuAlO3) are investigated and their SRS-spectra is shown.
