InGaN diode pumped actively Q-switched intracavity frequency doubling Pr:LiYF₄ 261 nm laser.

We demonstrate actively Q-switched deep ultraviolet laser operation at 261 and 320 nm by intracavity frequency doubling of an InGaN laser diode-pumped Pr:LiYF₄ laser. We obtain a maximum peak power of 61.6 W (8.

Intracavity second-harmonic generation at 320 nm of an actively Q-switched Pr:LiYF4 laser.

We demonstrate pulse laser operation of a Pr:LiYF(4) laser pumped by InGaN laser diodes (444 nm) using an acousto-optic modulator. We obtained a maximum laser peak power of 167 W (4 μJ/pulse) with a pulse width of 24 ns at an 11 kHz repetition rate for a 63 nm wavelength. Employing an 8 mm long lithium triborate nonlinear crystal in the laser cavity, we obtained a maximum peak power of 55 W (2.

Adaptive optics instrumentation in submillimeter/terahertz spectroscopy with a flexible polyvinylidene fluoride cladding hollow waveguide.

A simple instrument has been developed to carry out temperature dependent submillimeter/terahertz-wave spectroscopy using a polyvinylidene fluoride flexible hollow waveguide and an eggplant-shape launching lens.
