The idea was that by using this effect, one might be able to amplify light or even create a laser, which had not been accomplished in silicon. This was during tough times and budget cuts, but Mario kept funding Raman project due to its potential for a breakthrough. Soon, there was a world wide race among researchers in this area to demonstrate amplification and lasing. In the end, we demonstrated the first worlds first (optically pumped) silicon laser that could emit a sustained teainchina Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:06:06 GMT
