Diode-pumped, high repetition rate, Q-switched UV lasers are proving to be important in a variety of commercial manufacturing processes where smaller spot sizes and greater precision are required, notably micromachining. In recent years, 266 nm power outputs in excess of 5 W have been reported from a variety of frequency-quadrupled diode pumped solid state lasers such as Nd:YLF1 and Nd:YAG2 using, typically, CLBO as the frequency-quadrupling nonlinear material. However, these and similar demonstrations reported in the literature were limited to repetition rates ≤10 kHz and rarely has long-term lifetime data been included.
