Tunable UV radiation near 215 nm was produced by frequency quadrupling the 860-nm emission of a mode-locked external-cavity compound semiconductor laser containing a tapered GaAlAs amplifier. A KNbO{sub 3} crystal generated the 430-nm second harmonic, which was doubled by a {beta}-BaB{sub 2}O{sub 4} crystal, producing tunable UV radiation with as much as 15 {mu}W of average power.
