Efficient nonlinear frequency conversion to 193-nm using cooled BBO
Abstract
We have developed a 193-nm laser source operating at 5-kHz that generates a near-diffractionlimited TEM00 beam with 35 mW average power. The conversion efficiency and stability are both significantly enhanced by cooling the BBO crystal used in the final sum-frequency mixing stage. © 2007 OSA.
