Coherent VUV source at 130 nm: Theory and modeling

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5645203
The goal of this research is to maximize conversion efficiency of sum-frequency mixing in an energy scalable system. The 130.2-nm generation via two-photon-resonant four-wave mixing in Hg vapor for unfocused light beams emphasizing an understanding of efficiency-limiting processes has been analyzed. Calculations, based on measurements of Hg dipole matrix elements, indicate that mixing efficiencies of 5 to 10% should be possible.
