A DIODE-PUMPED CASCADE LASER FOR DEEP UV GENERATION

摘要

A two-step, diode-pumped solid-state laser is disclosed. A diode laser source (100) pumps a first solid-state laser (200). The first solid-state laser (200) in-turn pumps a second solid-state laser (300). The second solid-state laser (300) contains all the parameters suitable for efficient deep UV generation. A direct application of the diode-pumped solid-state cascade laser (10) is for deep UV generation for photo-refractive surgeries.
