We demonstrate an all-solid-state deep-ultraviolet (DUV) laser based on the frequency-quadrupling of a 1 µm, 1.2 ps, Yb: YAG Innoslab solid-state laser at a 10 kHz repetition rate, using LBO and BBO as second-harmonic generation and fourth-harmonic generation crystals, respectively. The DUV laser delivers 20 W, 2.0 mJ, 665 fs, 258 nm DUV pulses, with an overall conversion efficiency of ∼8.7% from 1 µm to DUV. The corresponding peak power of DUV pulses is up to 3 GW, which, to the best of our knowledge, is highest in reported kHz-rate all-solid-state DUV sources driven at 1 µm wavelength.

The exploration and research for deep-ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are of great significance for all-solid-state lasers. This work is based on the excellent structural [BO] units which manipulate the excellent performances of famous commercial NLO crystal β-BaBO (β-BBO) to explore new alternatives of deep-UV NLO materials. A deep-UV rare-earth metal borate fluoride RbScBOF (RSBF) is successfully designed by combining the heterovalent ions substitution strategy, and fluorination strategy.

Using two InGaN blue diode lasers as pump source to form a double-end pumping geometry, in this work, we have demonstrated a green laser at 522 nm with a maximum output power of 3.42 W, which is believed to be the highest power ever achieved in all-solid-state Pr lasers in this specific spectral region.

A passive Q-switching laser diode (LD) pumped all-solid-state 266 nm deep-ultraviolet laser was exploited as the laser excitation source. The photoacoustic signal amplitude is linear related to the incident optical power, whereas, a random laser power jitter is inevitable since the immature laser manufacturing technology in UV spectral region.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA unique design of our ultracompact microcavity wavelength conversion device exploits the simple principle that the wavelength conversion efficiency is proportional to the square of the electric field amplitude of enhanced pump light in the microcavity, and expands the range of suitable device materials to include crystals that do not exhibit birefringence or ferroelectricity. Here, as a first step toward practical applications of all-solid-state ultracompact deep-ultraviolet coherent light sources, we adopted a low-birefringence paraelectric SrBO crystal with great potential for wavelength conversion and high transparency down to 130 nm as our device material, and demonstrated 234 nm deep-ultraviolet coherent light generation, whose wavelength band is expected to be used for on-demand disinfection tools that can irradiate the human body.
