We propose and study the conditions of zero-dispersion phase matching for parametric Raman interactions in birefringent crystals differing by anisotropy of zero-dispersion wavelength and allowing for the spectral tuning of the zero-dispersion phase-matching condition. We choose a highly birefringent crystal of calcite having a wide zero-dispersion anisotropy range for the demonstration of new effects of laser pulse shortening in parametric Raman lasers with spectrally tunable zero-dispersion phase matching. We demonstrate the anti-Stokes (1168 nm) and multi-Stokes (1629 nm) picosecond pulse shortening and self-separation of single 80-ps ultra-short pulse from the zero-dispersion phase-matched parametric Raman lasers that are based on the calcite crystal without using any electro-optical device.

In the past few decades, the multifunctional optical crystals for all-solid-state Raman lasers have been widely studied by many scholars due to their compactness, convenience and excellent performance. In this review, we briefly show two kinds of multifunctional Raman crystals: self-Raman (laser and Raman effects) crystals and self-frequency-doubled Raman (frequency-doubling and Raman effects) crystals. We firstly introduce the properties of the self-Raman laser crystals, including vanadate, tungstate, molybdate and silicate doped with rare earth ions, as well as self-frequency-doubled Raman crystals, including KTiOAsO4 (KTA) and BaTeMo2O9 (BTM). Additionally, the domestic and international progress in research on multifunctional Raman crystals is summarized in the continuous wave, passively Q-switched, actively Q-switched and mode-locked regimes. Finally, we present the bottleneck in multifunctional Raman crystals and the outlook for future development. Through this review, we contribute to a general understanding of multifunctional Raman crystals.
