Abstract
Disclosed is a UV-visible laser system having ultrashort pulses with high power and/or high energy. The laser system includes at least one non-linear optical crystal (1) adapted for receiving two distinct ultrashort laser pulses (31, 32) in the visible or infrared domain emitted respectively by two distinct laser pulse sources (11, 12) and a temporal synchronization unit (41, 42) adapted so that the two ultrashort laser pulses (31, 32) are superimposed in time and space in the non-linear optical crystal (1) with any phase shift, and generate, by sum frequency, an ultrashort laser pulse (131) having an optical frequency equal to the sum of the respective optical frequencies of the two distinct laser pulses (31, 32).
