Abstract

The invention is directed to an intracavity Raman laser with a collimated beam path in the Raman medium 10. The intracavity Raman laser includes a single-mode Stokes resonator, a mode stop 13, a telescope 3 for adapting the laser rod 20, a single mode also for the pump laser and a deflecting mirror system 4 for a more compact arrangement. The mode volumes of the pump laser and the Stokes resonator are matched.
