title: Deep UV light generation by a fiber/bulk hybrid amplifier at 199 nm.
abstract: A high-pulse-repetition-frequency (PRF) pulsed light source in the deep ultraviolet region has been realized by a multiple wavelength conversion technique using a hybrid fiber/bulk amplifier system. Output of 199 nm with a power of 50 mW was achieved at 2.4 MHz PRF. The 1 microm amplifier consisted of a Yb-doped fiber amplifier and a Nd-doped YVO(4) amplifier. A 1.5 microm fiber master-oscillator power amplifier was employed as the other fundamental source. The amplifiers exhibited good amplification properties in pulse energy, polarization extinction ratio, and spectrum for nonlinear wavelength conversion.
