    Abstract

    Enhanced efficiency for nonlinear second harmonic and sum frequency generation in β-BBO from the two copper vapor laser (CVL) outputs (511 and 578 nm) is reported. Over 460 mW UV output at 255 nm (SHG of 511 nm) and 271 nm (SFG), and up to 300 mW at 289 nm (SHG of 578 nm) have been obtained with wall plug efficiencies up to 0.016% for a 16 W CVL with an M = 26.5 off-axis unstable cavity.
