报道了一种适用于紫外光产生的新型非线性光学晶体--铯锂硼酸盐CsLiB6O10(CLBO)晶体。一种新开发的溶液搅拌技术使高质量CLBO的生长具有更高的激光损伤阈值。这些晶体在266 nm处可以产生超过23W的紫外光功率，重复频率为10 kHz。这一功率是迄今为止在全固态激光器中实现的最高紫外线功率。还利用CLBO晶体开发了几个200 nm以下的全固态深紫外相干源。本文综述了CLBO的生长和光学性质以及在紫外光产生方面的最新进展。
The authors developed a cesium lithium borate CsLiB6O10(CLBO) crystal, which is a novel nonlinear optical borate crystal suitable for ultraviolet (UV) light generation. A newly developed solution-stirring technique enabled growth of high-quality CLBO with a greater threshold for laser-induced damage. These crystals can generate over 23 W of UV power at 266 nm with a repetition rate of 10 kHz. This power is the highest UV power thus far achieved in an all-solid-state laser. Several all-solid-state, deep-UV coherent sources below 200 nm have also been developed using CLBO crystals. We review the growth and optical properties of CLBO and recent progress in UV light generation in this paper.
