We report a stable high-power all-solid-state Q-switched laser operating at 294.6 nm with a pulse width of 24 ns and a repetition rate of 20 kHz produced by intracavity sum-frequency generation and external frequency doubling in LiB3O5 and β-BaB2O4 crystals, respectively. Upon synchronizing the fundamental lasers, the maximum output power at 589 nm is 1.2 W, which is frequency doubled to produce up to 167.8 mW at 294.6 nm, thereby providing a conversion efficiency of 13.98%.
