Beschreibung
We report the very first demonstration of wavelength-tunable operation in the UV from a diode-pumped Alexandrite laser. 375-385nm continuous tuning is obtained using a high-power diode-pumped tunable Alexandrite laser and a Type I critically phase-matched BBO crystal. The use of PPLN waveguides for UV generation is also discussed.
