Hi All,
I am a scientist (analytical chemist) dipping my feet into the world of UV and DUV lasers. I came across LPF whilst searching for information on some specific laser systems.
Day to day, I use Nd:YAG lasers coupled to mass spec's. Recently, I've started to get interested in the possible use of DUV (213nm and below...) for UV-photodissociation experiments. Given the expense of these types of lasers, I'm just starting to look into modifying lasers for these types of purposes. I'm lucky enough to have a few high power UV lasers at hand (wrong wavelengths) but not the knowledge to modify them...yet.
I'm very interested in chatting with members who may have some experience building short wavelength lasers, for instance modifying 355 to 266 by swapping harmonic generators, possible pitfalls, things to avoid etc. Whilst I build my knowledge in this area.
Cheers
