Abstract: | A significant enhancement is treated in the energy of a fourth harmonic generated beam (266 nm) by employing the new technique
of walk-off compensated multipass configuration without any change either in the beam parameters or in the intensity of the
input fundamental laser radiation. As much as 56% conversion efficiency is obtained in twin lithium tetraborate crystals,
even though the effective nonlinear coefficient of the crystal is as low as 1/6th that of KDP. Apart from crystals that have
large walk-off angles, low effective nonlinear coefficients, or both, the simple experimental set-up would also be quite suitable
for those crystals, especially infrared crystals that have large effective nonlinear coefficients but low laser damage thresholds. |
