Ultraviolet lasers (UV lasers) emit UV laser light, typically in the range of 200 nm to 389 nm. UV lasers offer extremely high photon energy, which opens up a wide range of applications that visible and infrared laser sources can’t address. The most common UV laser sources are the third and fourth harmonics on Nd: YAG, providing 355 nm and 266 nm wavelengths, respectively. It’s important to point out that while 355 nm and 266 nm are the most common UV laser wavelengths, several other Nd: YAG lines can be frequency doubled and tripled, producing a large selection of alternate UV wavelengths. To achieve these higher-order harmonics, the electric field density of the laser must be extremely high. As a result, these lasers are primarily available with q-switching capability. Continuous-wave (CW) UV laser diodes are also available at 375 nm, with single-mode and multi-mode beam profiles and free-space or fiber-coupled outputs.
