Compact, wavelength-selectable, energy-ratio variable Nd:YAG laser at mid-ultraviolet for chemical warfare agent detection

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We have developed a compact, wavelength-selectable, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at mid ultraviolet for chemical warfare agent detection. The fundamental wave at 1064 nm is delivered by a pulsed solid state laser incorporating with a square-type Nd:YAG rod in a resonator closed by two crossed Porro prisms for environmental reliability. The output energy at 213 nm (5ω) and 266 nm (4ω) by χ (2) process in the sequentially disposed BBO crystals are measured to be 6.8 mJ and 15.1 mJ, respectively. The output wavelength is selected for 5ω and 4ω by a motorized wavelength switch. The energy ratio of the 5ω to the 4ω is varied from 0.05 to 0.85 by controlling the phase matching temperature of the nonlinear crystal for sum-frequency generation without change of the output pulse parameters.
