Recent developments in tunable laser diodes now make it possible to do injection seeding of a quantum-limited Raman amplifier. We present data from an experiment in which a tunable laser diode in the visible was injected into a Raman amplifier with a coupling efficiency of 65% +/- 45%. This efficiency approaches the theoretical limit of 100% and is much larger than the 0.1-0.2% coupling efficiency reported in the literature for a comparable experiment when an infrared laser diode is used.
