Abstract
A 222 nm all-solid-state far-ultraviolet C (UVC) pulse laser system based on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and second-harmonic generation (SHG) using β -Ba 2 BO 4 (BBO) crystals was demonstrated. Pumped by a Nd ∶ Y 3 Al 5 O 12 laser with a repetition rate of 100 Hz at 355 nm, the maximum signal laser pulse energy of 1.22 mJ at 444 nm wavelength was obtained from the BBO-OPO system, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 27.9%. The maximum output pulse energy of 164.9 μ J at the 222 nm wavelength was successfully achieved, corresponding to an SHG conversion efficiency of 16.2%. Moreover, the tunable output wavelength of UVC light from 210 nm to 252.5 nm was achieved.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Optics Letters (COL) is an international journal aimed at the rapid dissemination of latest, important discoveries and inventions in all branches of optical science and technology. It is considered to be one of the most important journals in optics in China. It is collected by The Optical Society (OSA) Publishing Digital Library and also indexed by Science Citation Index (SCI), Engineering Index (EI), etc.
COL is distinguished by its short review period (~30 days) and publication period (~100 days).
With its debut in January 2003, COL is published monthly by Chinese Laser Press, and distributed by OSA outside of Chinese Mainland.
