Abstract

Ultrashort-pulse generation and amplification in the ultraviolet (UV) region has been receiving a great deal of interest for applications. All known UV short-pulse master oscillator and power amplifier (MGPA) systems consist of mode-locked oscillator stages, and excimer power amplifier stages. The above systems are complicated and bulky. However, solid- state tunable UV-laser materials such as Ce3+ ion-activated LuLiF4 (LLF),1 Li-CaAlF6 (LiCAF),2 and LiSrAlF6 (LiSAF)3 have recently been developed. With their broad gain-width, they are attractive for ultrashort-pulse applications. To prove that, we have demonstrated UV picosecond-pulse amplification using Ce:LLF.4 Furthermore, by employing a newly proposed self-injection-seeding scheme, we have directly generated UV picosecond pulse-trains from a Ce:LLF laser5 and a Ce:LiCAF laser.6 This presentation reports UV picosecond pulse generation and amplification in a compact, all-solid-state MOPA system.
