Abstract

Rare gas halogen excimer laser amplifiers have long been considered attractive media for the production of high power ultraviolet picosecond light pulses. We have used standard nonlinear optical techniques to up-convert the output of a well mode-locked dye laser to 248 nm for amplification in KrF*. Pulses with up to 20 mJ of energy and 17 psec in duration have been obtained at a repetition rate of 10 Hz, after a single pass through a KrF* discharge. The output pulsewidth has been characterized using an electronic autocorrelator consisting of two ultrafast photoconducting detectors.
