چکیده
We have produced coherent radiation in the XUV region at 70.9 nm by frequency tripling the fifth harmonic of Nd:YAG laser radiation in neon. BaB(2)O(4) was used to generate the fifth harmonic at 212.8 nm with an output pulse energy of 20 mJ and a pulse width of 5 nsec. Subsequent frequency tripling in neon gas generated 10 W of peak power at 70.9 nm.

Coherent control of frequency conversion toward short (picosecond) vacuum-ultraviolet radiation pulses
We present experimental data on the coherent control of frequency conversion toward the vacuum-ultraviolet regime in xenon atoms, applying intense ultrashort picoseconds (ps) radiation pulses. We report on quantum interference between two resonantly enhanced frequency conversion processes (i.e., fifth harmonic generation and four-wave mixing). The conversion processes are driven by a fundamenta...
متن کاملCoherent Vuv/xuv Generation Using Techniques of Nonlinear Optics : a Short Review of Experimental Achievements
Experimental arrangements developed by research groups in Palaiseau, Bielefeld, Chicago and Berkeley-Stanford are briefly presented. They lead to the generation of coherent and tunable VUV/XUV radiation by nonlinear optical method?. The choice is representative from the point of view of the specificity of the setups and the results obtained. Besides carbon monoxide (see the article by Vallde, H...
متن کاملEfficient compact watt-level deep-ultraviolet laser generated from a multi-kHz Q-switched diode-pumped solid-state laser system
Stable high-power operation in the deep ultraviolet is achieved from a multi-kHz diode-pumped multi-longitudinalmode Q-switched Nd:YAG laser by fourth harmonic generation in an external resonant cavity and by fifth harmonic generation using sum-frequency mixing of the fourth harmonic and the residual fundamental in a b-BBO crystal. Over 2.1 W of 266 nm radiation and 540 mW of 213 nm radiation w...
متن کاملGeneration of 4.3-W coherent blue light by frequency-tripling of a side-pumped Nd:YAG laser in LBO crystals.
High average power nanosecond pulsed light is obtained using a compact all solid state Nd:YAG laser. The laser is operated in Q-switched mode at the 1.3 micron fundamental and internally frequency tripled using two LiB3O5 (LBO) crystals. 4.3 W average power at 440 nm was demonstrated at 3.5 kHz and a pulse width of 150+/-10 ns (FWHM). The beam quality of M2 value is 5+/-1 in both dimensions. Th...
