Popis: We attained tunable UV laser radiation between 195 and 198 nm by sum-frequency mixing two synchronized flashlamp-pumped solid-state Q-switch lasers, a Nd:YAG laser frequency quadrupled to 266 nm and a tunable (730–770 nm) alexandrite laser. UV pulse energies of 0.12 mJ with repetition rates of 10 Hz were attained in collinear, as well as non-collinear sum-frequency interaction in aβ-Barium Borate (BBO) crystal with a conversion efficiency of 2.5%. Theoretical models for the non-collinear phase-matching interaction were investigated at UV wavelengths below 200 nm.
