Abstract
Based on the 1.1 μm laser radiation obtained by parametrically amplifying Yb:YAG laser using frequency doubling of Nd:YAG laser, a 220 nm deep-UV coherent source was systematically presented via the efficient fifth-harmonic generation (FiHG) in NH4H2PO4 (ADP) and KD2PO4 (DKDP) crystals. In ADP crystals, noncritical phase-matching (NCPM) fourth-harmonic generation (FHG) and FiHG were realized at 109.4 and 31.6 °C, respectively. For DKDP crystals, we demonstrated the critical phase-matching FHG at 57.5 °C and verified that NCPM FiHG can be achieved at 38.7 °C, which was the first demonstration of the FiHG using the DKDP crystal to our knowledge. The energy-dependent conversion efficiencies, angular acceptances, and temperature acceptances of these nonlinear processes were systematically measured. The highest total conversion efficiencies from 1.1 μm to the fifth harmonic in ADP and DKDP crystals were 17.5% and 23.6%, respectively. Owing to the large-aperture availability of KDP-family crystals, this work paves the way for the generation and application of high-energy and high-peak-power deep-UV laser radiation.
