Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have previously reported the analysis of generating the fourth-harmonic radiation of an IR laser in a single external cavity that resonates the second-harmonic wavelength and measured 39.5% IR-to-UV conversion from a few mJ of a flash-lamp-pumped injection seeded Q-switched laser. We have now extended this approach to diode-pumped multimode Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers.
