Abstract

We report the development of a high-power, fiber-laser-pumped, sub-nanosecond pulsed 260 nm DUV laser and demonstrate its use for bacterial disinfection. The source generates up to 5.8 W of average power at 260 nm (585 ps pulses at a repetition rate of 1.6 MHz, corresponding to a pulse energy of 3.6 μJ and a peak power of 6.9 kW). The results represent the highest DUV output power from an all-fiberized fiber laser pumped frequency conversion source to date. We demonstrate the application of the laser system to bacterial inactivation. A survival rate of less than 1 in 100000 is demonstrated for E. Coli bacteria after exposure to a DUV dose of 7 mJ/cm2.
