Generation of 35.5-nm coherent radiation

Opt Lett. 1983 Apr 1;8(4):217-9. doi: 10.1364/ol.8.000217.

Abstract

Tunable coherent radiation was produced at 35.5 nm by seventh-harmonic conversion of 248-nm radiation from a krypton fluoride excimer laser. The nonlinear interaction took place at the intersection of the laser focus and a pulsed, supersonic helium gas jet. Third- and fifth-harmonic generation produced coherent outputs at 83 and 50 nm in both helium and xenon gas jets.
