Abstract: A nonlinear crystal including stacked strontium tetraborate SrB4O7 (SBO) crystal plates that are cooperatively configured to create a periodic structure for quasi-phase-matching (QPM) is used in the final frequency doubling stage of a laser assembly to generate laser output light having a wavelength in the range of about 180 nm to 200 nm. One or more fundamental laser beams are frequency doubled, down-converted and/or summed using one or more frequency conversion stages to generate an intermediate frequency light with a corresponding wavelength in the range of about 360 nm to 400 nm, and then the final frequency converting stage utilizes the nonlinear crystal to double the frequency of the intermediate frequency light to generate the desired laser output light at high power. Methods, inspection systems, lithography systems and cutting systems incorporating the laser assembly are also described.

Abstract: A method for growing a periodically-poled nonlinear crystal may include placing a seed crystal into a melt to form a seed crystal melt mixture, where the seed crystal may include at least one of strontium tetraborate (SBO) or lithium triborate (LBO), and where the melt includes at least one of a mixture of Sr, B, and O or a mixture of Li, B, and O. The method may further include heating the seed crystal melt mixture to a predetermined temperature until the periodically-poled nonlinear crystal forms.
