Nonlinear UV Laser Build-up Cavity: An Efficient Design

Nonlinear UV Laser Build-up Cavity: An Efficient Design

Using the concept of the build-up cavity for second harmonic generation to produce 243nm laser light, an innovative cavity is theoretically explored using a 15mm length CLBO crystal. In order to limit the losses of the cavity, the number of effective optical surfaces is kept to only four and the use...
