25. This convention is more appropriate than defining threshold as when SRS conversion efficiency ISt1/Ithr reaches about 1% [11], because, in many cases at such pumping level, other parametric phenomena, such as SHG, two-photon absorption and other nonlinear effects, may skew the experimental results by depleting the pump intensity.
