Continuous 40-W UV laser

Abstract
A low-pressure Ar arc discharge (length = 1.7 m, diameter = 12 mm) was used for continuous high-power generation of UV laser lines (\lambda = 351.1nm, 363.8 nm). Low-loss mirror coatings and stabilization of the discharge with a magnetic field enabled a maximum output power of 40 W to be achieved from the combined lines.
