Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laser technology, specifically relating to a device for generating 193nm ultraviolet laser. Background Technology
[0002] 193nm ultraviolet lasers are crucial tools in high-resolution spectroscopy, surface science, photochemistry, fiber grating fabrication, integrated circuit etching, and precision laser processing. Developing 193nm ultraviolet lasers is of great significance and has broad application prospects. Currently, the main method for obtaining 193nm ultraviolet lasers relies on ArF excimer gas lasers, which generate ultraviolet lasers using a combination of rare and reactive gases under high pressure. However, this method carries risks of harmful gases posing a threat to human safety and causing environmental pollution, as well as drawbacks such as high cost, limited repetition rate, poor beam quality, and poor coherence, severely restricting the development of related research and applications. Compared to gas lasers, solid-state 193nm ultraviolet lasers offer advantages such as tunable repetition rate, good beam quality, good coherence, small size, and tunable wavelength. With the continuous development of lasers, nonlinear crystals, and related technologies, the advantages of generating 193nm ultraviolet lasers through nonlinear frequency transformation methods such as frequency doubling and sum-frequency generation compared to gas lasers are becoming increasingly apparent.
[0003] Currently, nonlinear frequency conversion-based schemes are widely used in the generation of 193nm ultraviolet lasers. However, these schemes have high requirements for the driving light source and related nonlinear crystals, resulting in low output power and conversion efficiency. Furthermore, ultraviolet continuous laser generation systems combining fiber lasers and diamond Raman technology utilize diamond crystals to generate diamond Raman lasers, which are then further frequency-converted to generate 193nm ultraviolet lasers. However, these systems have high requirements for the driving light source, and the diamond crystals require special cooling treatment, increasing the complexity of the experiment.
[0004] Therefore, how to stably and efficiently generate high-power 193nm ultraviolet lasers using a single driving light source, and how to explore various technical routes for generating 193nm ultraviolet lasers, are urgent problems that researchers in this field need to solve.
