FM modulation is investigated as a technique for accurately measuring the linewidths of Lorentzian resonances observed by stimulated Raman scattering difference frequency tuning. A normalized linewidth is obtained from the ratio of the nth to the ( n + 1)th harmonic content of the detected signal. Possible applications in temperature measurement are discussed.

In this study, simultaneous second-harmonic generation (SHG), sum frequency generation (SFG), and Raman conversion based on MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) for multi-wavelength generation is demonstrated. The approach used is based on a single MgO:PPLN crystal poled with a uniform period of 10.2 µm that phase matches SHG and SFG, simultaneously. Using a simplified double-pass geometry, up to 0.8 W of blue light at 487 nm is achieved by a frequency-doubling 974 nm laser diode pump, and 0.5 W of orange light at 598 nm is generated by frequency mixing 974 nm pump with C-band (1527–1565 nm) tunable laser source. At high pump powers of the 974 nm laser source, other unexpected peaks at 437, 536, 756, 815 and 1038 nm were observed, of which the 1038 nm line is due to Stimulated Raman Scattering within the MgO:PPLN crystal. The resulting multi-wavelength light source may find a wide range of applications in biomedicine and basic research.
