Question

What is the gain material and its phase, typical pumping method, typical output power, and efficiency for laser of your choice producing infrared light, and the same for producing UV light?

Answer 1

For production of UV light:

Gain material : Excimer lasers are types of laser which emits UV light.

ArF (emission at 193 nm), KrCl (222 nm), KrF (248 nm), XeCl (308 nm) and XeF (351 nm) in short lansing medium is an excimer.

These laser dont require pumping mechanisms as these are opearted by electrical pumping.

For production of Infrared light:

Gain material : Nd:YaG laser and Fiber lasers are types of laser which emits infrared light.

Pumping method is generally optical pumping in case of Nd:YaG laser.
