RESUMEN
We demonstrate a ps 167.75-nm vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) laser by cascaded second-harmonic generation (SHG). The VUV laser is produced by eighth-harmonic generation (EHG) of a mode-locked ps 1342-nm Nd:YVO4 amplifier through three stages cascaded SHG with two LiB3O5 crystals and one KBe2BO3F2 crystal, successively. The 167.75-nm laser provides up to 65-µW output power, and the corresponding photon flux and photon flux density are 5.5×10(13) s(-1) and 1.6×10(18) s(-1)·cm(-2), respectively.
