Abstract

Picosecond ultraviolet lasers are extensively utilized in precision manufacturing and material processing, where system designs prioritize longevity and stability. However, the emphasis on durability and simplicity—exemplified by extra-cavity configurations with LBO crystals—often compromises the overall conversion efficiency, underscoring the need for further optimization. We developed a simulation model based on the spatial distribution characteristics of second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency to guide the design of an efficient third harmonic generation (THG) system. We developed a simulation model that reveals the functional relationship between the fundamental peak power and the optimal beam diameter. Based on the simulation results, we optimized the design of a highly efficient third harmonic generation system. Consequently, we achieved a conversion efficiency of

17.89 %

for wavelength conversion from

1030 n m

343 n m

. The design integrated disk regenerative amplification and single-crystal fiber technologies for the first time, delivering an ultraviolet output with an average power of

30.2 W

. This method advances the third harmonic generation efficiency and offers new pathways for compact, high-performance picosecond ultraviolet laser development in scientific and industrial domains.

期刊介绍： Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
