Abstract
We present the results of research on continuous tuning of a neodymium laser radiation frequency in the UV and vacuum ranges. We obtained generation of the total frequency of the waves of the second harmonic and of parametric light generator radiation in the UV region (338–366 nm). We investigate the optimum conditions for tuning UV radiation in the 113.5–117.0 nm range in the process of generation of the third harmonic in xenon and its mixtures with other gases. In the vacuum UV range investigated, an efficiency of generation of the third harmonic of ∼5·10−4 and a tuning range above 2600 cm−1 are realized.
