We demonstrate the generation of coherent Stokes pulses with randomized linear-polarization in diamond, when the pump wave-vector and linear polarization were oriented along the [110] and [110] axes respectively. In this configuration the excitation of multiple Raman modes produces isotropic gain, preventing the Stokes pulse from acquiring a deterministic orientation and is instead randomized by the zero-point motion of the crystal. Experimental polarization measurements were consistent with an independent, identical distribution with an estimated entropy rate of 6.67 bits per pulse.
