摘要
Continuous coherent radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet at 122 nm (Lyman-alpha) can be generated using sum-frequency mixing of three fundamental laser beams in mercury vapor. One of the fundamental beams is at 254 nm wavelength, which is close to the 6(1) S (0)-6(3) P (1) resonance in mercury. Experiments have been performed to investigate the effect of this one-photon resonance on phase-matching, absorption and the nonlinear yield. The efficiency of continuous Lyman-alpha generation has been improved by a factor of 4.5.
