This paper reports on high quality YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}/PrBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} superlattices with desired thicknesses of each component fabricated by laser deposition. Superconductivity is studied by varying both YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} and PrBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} layer thicknesses. The results indicated that an isolated single unit cell YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} layer (nominal thickness of 12 {Angstrom}) is superconducting. The increase of T{sub c} from the lower value of a single unit cell layer to 90 K in thick films and the enhancement of T{sub c} for a given thickness of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} when the PrBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} layers decreased to less than {approximately}30 {Angstrom} could be attributed to the interlayer coupling effect. Superconducting transitions of superlattices in applied magnetic fields were studied.
