Abstract

Highly efficient generation of UV radiation at 355 nm has been achieved in a LiB₃O₅ crystal through the frequency mixing of the fundamental and second-harmonic radiation of a Nd:YAG laser. An energy conversion efficiency of 60% has been obtained under the experimental conditions described here. Thus the usefulness of LiB₃O₅ for frequency-conversion applications is demonstrated.
