  • Method of and apparatus for providing a high powered ultraviolet laser beam with high repetition frequency
    Patent number: 5159602
    Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for providing an ultraviolet laser beam are defined. The system doubles the frequency of an infrared laser beam provided by a commercially available infrared laser, for instance a Nd-Yag laser mode-locked at 100 MHz, in a first non-linear crystal and accumulates the obtained green laser beam into a storage ring cavity to obtain high power in the visible range, and then doubles the frequency of the green laser beam in a second non-linear crystal to receive an ultraviolet laser beam at 2600 A. The power levels at the latter wavelength are much higher than those of commercially available continuous wave lasers.
