All-solid-state ultraviolet 330nm laser from frequency-doubling of Nd:YLF red laser in CsB 3 O 5

We demonstrate an ultraviolet (UV) 330nm laser from second-harmonic generation (SHG) of an all-solid-state Nd:YLF red laser in a CsB3O5 (CBO) crystal for the first time, to our best knowledge. Under an input power of 4.8W at 660nm, a maximum average output power of 330nm laser was obtained to be 1.28W, corresponding to a frequency conversion efficiency of about 26.7%.
