China’s first-of-a-kind ABF crystal creates most energised solid-state laser beam
AI Summary
Chinese scientists at the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry have created a novel ammonium fluorooxoborate (ABF) crystal that generated the shortest wavelength laser beam ever produced from a crystal, measuring 158.9 nanometers. This breakthrough results in all-solid-state lasers with record-high output energy. Developed over a decade, the ABF crystal allows for desktop-sized, cost-effective, and easily maintained laser systems. This all-solid-state solution offers performance comparable to larger, more complex gas plasma and synchrotron radiation-based laser systems. The achievement combines theoretical advancements with the successful cultivation of high-quality ABF crystals.
