Lyman-alpha Laser

Scheme developed by Taka Momose (UBC) and in use at ALPHA@CERN

  • Generation of strong 730nm light pulse in enhancement cavity
  • Second harmonic (SHG) process to generate one pulse of 365nm light in BBO crystal
  • Third harmonic generation (THG) to generate 121.6nm light in Kr/Ar mixture
