Old crystal, new story for enhancing deep ult
<p style="text-align:justify">Recent strides in deep ultraviolet (DUV) laser technology have unlocked new avenues in lithography, defect inspection, metrology, and spectroscopy. A groundbreaking study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences showcases a 60-milliwatt solid-state DUV laser at 193 nm, achieved through innovative sum frequency generation processes using LBO crystals. Noteworthy for its narrow linewidth and impressive conversion efficiency, this research heralds a promising era in DUV laser applications, potentially revolutionizing various scientific and industrial fiel...
