Abstract :
Summary form only given. High-power, solid-state UV sources are of interest for industrial applications like precise machining, writing a grating into fibers, and so on. CsLiB/sub 6/O/sub 10/ (CLBO) has been used successfully for high-power fourth and fifth harmonic generation of Nd:YAG or Nd:YLF lasers. Efficient 10 W, 5 kHz, single-frequency 262 nm generation with TEM/sub 00/ quality was demonstrated by using a high-quality, 30 mm long CsLiB/sub 6/O/sub 10/ (CLBO) crystal. The source configured a temperature-elevated CLBO with low UV power density.
