Abstract
Here we report laser test results of the new UV solid-state active medium
based on a Ce3+,Yb3+:LiY0.4Lu0.6F4 mixed crystal pumped by
radiation from Ce:LiCAF laser. The 10-Hz pulse repetition rate
Ce3+,Yb3+:LiY0.4Lu0.6F4 laser yielded a maximum output power
of 0.25 mJ at 311 nm in non-optimized non-selective resonator with a maximal
slope efficiency of 13
single-prizm resonator.
