摘要：

Up-converted beams of a conventional quadrupled Nd:YAG laser by anti-Stokes Raman scattering in hydrogen are characterized as a vacuum ultraviolet light source. The beams diverge with the increase of the hydrogen pressure and also with the increase of the order of anti-Stokes scattering. Although the profiles of anti-Stokes beams vary from a Gaussian-like shape to a typical ring shape, the maximum energy conversion is always obtained with a near-Gaussian beam profile. The output energy ranges from 5.9 mJ for the first-order anti-Stokes wave (240 nm) to 8 muJ for the ninth-order anti-Stokes wave (133 nm). The energy of the sixth-order anti-Stokes wave (160 nm) fluctuates +/-45% of the average output energy. The beam characteristics are described well by a model on the basis of phase matching between four waves related to each Raman process.
