Abstract:Compact all solid-state lasers emitting in the blue and ultraviolet range are more and more required for numerous applications such as data storage, materials processing, photolithography, micromachining, sensors for the detection of gaseous pollutants, in biology or medicine. In this frame, single crystals allowing the generation of a blue/UV radiation by frequency conversion of an infrared one are promising materials. Crystals of the borate family are good candidates such as the compounds Bi 2 ZnB 2 O 7 (BZB… Show more
