Monoclinic m‐LaVO 4 vanadate with the monazite‐type structure was found to be a new favorable SRS‐active crystal. Its two‐phonon impulsive Stokes lasing has been recorded under near‐IR femtosecond pumping. Knowledge acquired about the behavior of impulsive stimulated Raman scattering in the studied crystals may be useful for the physics of coherent optical phonons and for engineering of femtosecond lasers. The fundamental results obtained here will also motivate the search for crystals able to generate multiphonon impulsive SRS. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
