Abstract
A tunable radiation source employing the stimulated Raman-scattering process is disclosed. The source generates several orders of Stokes radiation in an optical-fiber oscillator cavity, which Stokes radiation may be independently tuned by incorporating separate tuning elements for the several Stokes orders. Several different arrangements of fiber and tuning elements are disclosed.
