    Abstract

    UV output powers in excess of 1W at 255nm can readily be generated by SHG from single, medium-scale copper vapour lasers. The high PRF and high beam quality makes the frequency-doubled CVL an ideal source for many UV micromachining applications such as drilling micro-orifices in polymers at high production rates.
