New lines in the UV: SRS of excimer laser wavelengths

Abstract

The UV excimer lasers ArF, KrCl, KrF, and XeCl were utilized to create new families of UV lines by multiple orders of broad-band nonresonant stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the media H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> , D <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> , CH <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> , and LN <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> . Mixed-media and excited-state SRS were also studied.
