Attaining 186-nm light generation in cooled β-BaB2O4 crystal

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The transparency range of βBaB2O4 (BBO) was expanded by means of cooling, and the resulting absorption coefficient at 193.4 nm was reduced to 0.29 cm-1 at 91 K from 1.39 cm-1 at 295 K. Further, generation of light at 186.0 nm (the measurement limit in air) by type I sum-frequency generation (SFG) based on fundamental (744-nm) and third-harmonic (248-nm) light from a Ti:sapphire laser was confirmed for cooled BBO. Calculations based on observed data for SFG wavelengths and phase-matching angles indicate a potential for cooled BBO to generate wavelengths as low as 181.7 nm.
