Abstract: Picosecond pumping was used to excite for the first time multifrequency parametric Raman oscillation in a crystal of leucosapphire α-Al₂O₃ based on the SRS-active vibrational mode A_g1 with ν_R ≈ 419 cm^–1. The recorded Stokes (up to seven) and anti-Stokes (up to six) SRS components were identified.
