Abstract
Tunable UV radiation centered at 289 nm was obtained from a 532-nm Nd: YAG pumped high-brightness solid-state dye laser, frequency doubled in CsLiB6O10. Frequency doubling to 284-294 nm was demonstrated from a s ingly doped, rotating pyrromethene dye plastic disk with damage thresh old >3 J/cm(2). UV energies up to 44 mJ at 10 Hz were obtained with a 15% absolute conversion efficiency from 532 nm. (C) 1997 Optical Socie ty of America.
