摘要

Abstract

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lasers have demonstrated great potential as the light source for various spectroscopies

which

if they can be focused into a small beam spot

will not only allow investigation of mesoscopic materials a

nd structures but also find application in the manufacture of nano-objects with excellent precision. In this work

we report the construction of a 177 nm VUV laser that can achieve a record-small (~0.76 μm) focal spot at a long focal length (~45 mm) by using a flat lens without spherical aberration. The size of the beam spot of this VUV laser was tested using a metal grating and exfoliated graphene flakes

and we demonstrated its application in a fluorescence spectroscopy study on pure and Tm

-doped NaYF

microcrystals

revealing a new emission band that cannot be observed in the traditional up-conversion process. In addition

this laser system would be an ideal light source for spatially and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
