New lines in the UV: SRS of excimer laser wavelengths

The UV excimer lasers ArF, KrCl, KrF, and XeCl were utilized to create new families of UV lines by multiple orders of broad-band nonresonant stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the media H

. Mixed-media and excited-state SRS were also studied.
