All solid-state Raman lasers have attracted great attention for various applications in the areas of medicine, biomedicine, optical communication, environmental control, and so on, due to their advantages such as simple, robust, efficient, and versatile. And solid-state Raman laser can offer good beam quantity, flexible wavelength in the infrared and visible spectral ranges by simply choosing different crystals in combination with frequency doubling technology. An overview of solid-state Raman lasers was present, and then our research work was highlighted in Nd:YVO4 solid-state laser using BaWO4, SrWO4 and YVO4 as the Raman medium in continuous operation and eye-safe quasi-continuous operation. At last the future development trends of solid-state Raman lasers were discussed.
