High-power vacuum-ultraviolet anti-Stokes Raman laser with atomic selenium.
High-power operation of a selenium anti-Stokes Raman laser has been realized by application of an ArF excimer laser as a primary pump source. Radiation at 169 and 146 nm was generated with conversion efficiencies of up to 2.3% and output energies of up to 350 muJ in a 2-nsec pulse.
