Abstract
Measurements of tuning ranges for narrow-bandwidth (\(\Delta \tilde v \approx 0.3cm^{ - 1}\)) radiation amplified in KrF and ArF laser amplifiers are reported. Generation of high-order anti-Stokes Raman lines in H2 down to 116 nm is described as well as measurements of the corresponding tuning ranges. Generation of rotational side-bands opens the possibility to tune most of the vacuum-ultraviolet (vuv) lines over intervals in excess of 1400 cm−1. Absolute values of the power measured for the various vuv lines are communicated.
