Popis: Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is an efficient nonlinear frequency conversion method, enabling simultaneous generation of red, green, and blue (RGB) lasers. In order to synthesize a white light source for laser display by SRS, a 532 nm laser was used as pump source, and high purity gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) was used as the Raman active medium. First, by optimizing experimental parameters, with an f = 1.5 m focal lens, in 0.8 atm CO2 pumped at 304 mJ, a first-order anti-Stokes (AS1) 495 nm blue laser was achieved, with an energy of 31.9 mJ, peak power of 10.9 MW and conversion efficiency (CE) of 10.5 %. Then, Then, the second-order Stokes light (S2) at 624 nm, residual pump laser (S0) at 532 nm, and AS1 laser were utilized as RGB primary colors. By the variation of pressure below 1 atmosphere (atm), the laser-driven white light (LDWL) with adjustable correlated color temperature (CCT) below 4700 K were simulated. Finally, LDWL up to 2.6 × 1018cd/m2 of a CCT of 3300 K could be synthesized at an RGB power ratio of PR: PG: PB = 0.447:0.094:0.459, resulting in a white light power CE of 44.4 % and luminous efficacy of 113.7 lm/W. In addition, use of the 574 nm yellow Raman light is expected to realize a four-primary (RGBY) laser display scheme with higher Luminance and broader color gamut. Moreover, the feasibility of using a 515 nm Yb: YAG laser as pump source to widen the range of CCT and improve the brightness of LDWL was discussed.
