TAILIEUCHUNG - A high-q factor, easy-to-use, broadband ce:licaf laser resonator based on total internal reflection
Results show that the present configuration can be a high Q-factor, easy-to-use, broadband prism resonator suitable as a laser oscillator not only in the ultraviolet (UV) region but also down to vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelengths where alignment is restricted to vacuum environments. | Communications in Physics, Vol. 26, No. 3 (2016), pp. 247-252 DOI: A HIGH Q-FACTOR, EASY-TO-USE, BROADBAND Ce:LiCAF LASER RESONATOR BASED ON TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION ARITA REN, EMPIZO MELVIN JOHN F, MINAMI YUKI, LUONG VIET MUI, TANIGUCHI TAKAYA, YAMANOI KOHEI, SHIMIZU TOSHIHIKO AND SARUKURA NOBUHIKO Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, 2-6 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan RADUBAN MARILOU CADATAL1,2 1 Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, 2-6 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan 2 Centre for Theoretical Chemistry and Physics, Institute of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Massey University, Albany, Auckland 0632, New Zealand PHAM VAN DUONG, NGUYEN XUAN TU AND PHAM HONG MINH† Institute of Physics, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, 10 Dao Tan, Ba Dinh, Hanoi 10000, Vietnam † E-mail: phminh@ Received 29 November 2016 Accepted for publication 05 January 2017 Abstract. We report a design of a cerium-doped lithium calcium hexafluoro aluminumate (Ce:LiCaAlF6 , Ce:LiCAF) laser resonator based on total internal reflection (TIR). This TIR configuration is established by placing the Ce:LiCAF crystal between two calcium fluoride (CaF2 ) Pellin-Broca prisms. The laser resonator exhibits a 289-nm emission with spectral linewidth and pulse duration. Results show that the present configuration can be a high Q-factor, easy-to-use, broadband prism resonator suitable as a laser oscillator not only in the ultraviolet (UV) region but also down to vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelengths where alignment is restricted to vacuum environments.
