Abstract
The continuous wave, diode pumped laser operation of Pr <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup> :YLiF <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sub> (Pr:YLF) was reported. In contrast to other solid-state lasers, Pr-lasers need only a single nonlinear step for generation of wavelengths in the UV. For instance, UV-lasers can be realized in a simple and robust way by intracavity frequency doubling of Pr-lasers, operating on the fundamental wavelength in the visible spectral region. Recently, UV radiation has been generated by intracavity frequency doubling of an OPS-pumped Pr:YLF.
