Abstract

There has been considerable recent progress in the operation of tunable uv solid-state lasers based on trivalent cerium doped fluoride crystals [1,2], most notably Ce:LiCAF, Ce:LiSAF and Ce:LiLuF. Because of their broad tuneability in the 280-340nm uv spectral region, these lasers have great potential for applications such as ultrashort pulse generation/ amplification, and uv spectroscopy. The pump bands for cerium-doped fluorides are in the 250-290 nm spectral region, thus requiring a deep-uv pump laser. Typically frequency quadrupled Nd:YAG lasers are used to pump Ce:LiCAF and Ce:LiSAF, and KrF excimer lasers for pumping Ce.LiLuF.
