Abstract
The broad gain-width of tunable ultraviolet Ce3+-doped fluoride laser crystals1–3 is attractive for ultrashort-pulse applications. Ce3+:LuLiF4 (Ce:LLF) is a laser medium with potential tunability from 305 to 340 nm3, and it can be pumped with a conventional KrF excimer laser. This presentation illustrates high gain, multipass amplification using Ce:LLF and reports on the direct ultraviolet picosecond-pulse train generation from a newly proposed self-injection-seeding pulse Ce:LLF laser.
