Abstract
The science and technology of violet and ultraviolet lasers has matured rapidly in the last five years. High average power lasers have been demonstrated and several commercial product lines are now available. Single pulse devices have successfully demonstrated large output energies in well controlled beams. In this presentation we will review some of the current laser development programs in progress at Los Alamos. We will describe research in both discharge pumped lasers and E-beam pumped lasers and we will review methods of wavelength conversion in these devices. Finally we will discuss the current understanding of laser induced damage to optical components in the uv.
