Monoclinic LaBWO6: A new SRS-active crystal

We have synthesised a new SRS-active LaBWO₆ tungstate crystal with a high steady-state Raman gain (less than 2.8 cm GW^-1) and ability to generate a multicomponent Stokes and anti-Stokes comb in the visible and near-IR spectral regions, with a length of ~13010 cm^-1. The newly found photon – phonon nonlinear χ⁽³⁾ processes in known SRS- and laser-active tungstate crystals are briefly described in tables.
