Sub-ps KrF laser and its application for multi-photon absorption measurements
Abstract
A sub-picosecond KrF laser system free of amplified spontaneous emission has been developed. Two-step pulse shaping has been applied for efficient pulse compression in the high gain and low saturation fluence gain medium. Multiphoton absorption and the damage threshold were measured by photoacoustic detection. The correlation of damage threshold and bandgap energy leads to damage-resistant multilayered coatings.
