Abstract
We produced ultraviolet radiation by frequency tripling the mode-locke d emission of an external cavity laser containing a tapered GaAlAs amp lifier gain element. The 429-nm second harmonic produced by a KNbO3 cr ystal was sum-frequency mixed with the 858-nm fundamental in a Li3BO5 crystal, generating as much as 50 mu W of power at 286 nm.
