title: Highly efficient ultraviolet generation at 355 nm in LiB(3)O(5).
abstract: Highly efficient generation of UV radiation at 355 nm has been achieved in a LiB(3)O(5) 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 LiB(3)O(5) for frequency-conversion applications is demonstrated.
