Optical Conversion Processes
Abstract
With the delivery and modification of an untuned high power KrF laser, experiments began on optical conversion to longer wavelengths with various candidates generated using scalable production techniques. For ease of demonstration of principle, the candidates hydrogen, iron and calcium were identified as compatible with the available power and bandwidth of our pump laser and were therefore first considered. These results demonstrate that efficient conversion of KrF towards longer wavelengths is achievable using an untuned laser as the pump. Also, the technique of producing refractory metals in densities sufficiently high for single pass amplified spontaneous emission by the decomposition of organometallic compounds is clearly established.
