Abstract :
A report on the efficient generation of highly stable 1.7-W average power UV pulses at 0.266 μm in BeSO4·4H2O is presented. BeSO4·4H2O has been found to be a superior material for high peak-power and high average-power UV generation at 0.266 μm. A Gaussian-like beam having an average power of 1.7 W was generated without damage to the crystal at room temperature
