Abstract :
A Q-switched diode-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator and power amplifier system is developed in this study as a light source of frequency conversion. 300 W TEM00 mode linearly polarized 1064 nm beam is generated at a high repetition rate of 10-30 kHz. The 266 nm average power of 27.9 W and the 213 nm average power of 10.2 W is obtained with the high quality CsLiB6O10 crystal for the fourth and fifth harmonic generation. This is so far the highest 213-nm power obtained with a solid state laser.
