Accurate wavelength scanned four-wave mixing (FWM) measurement results in an optical fiber are presented with two tunable laser sources near the dispersion-zero wavelength of the fiber. By comparing the measured FWM data with a simple analytic expression, we have demonstrated that important linear and nonlinear optical properties such as zero-dispersion wavelength, dispersion slope and nonlinear refractive index of the sample fiber. Highly accurate and repeatable measurement results for a sample fiber are presented. Temperature-dependent change in the chromatic dispersion of a fiber is also investigated.

Several practical all-solid-state tunable ultraviolet subnanosecond laser sources have been developed based on Ce 3+: LiLuF 4 (Ce:LLF) and Ce 3+: LiCaAlF 6 (Ce:LiCAF) active media pumped by the fifth and fourth harmonics of a regular Q-switched 10-ns Nd:YAG laser, respectively. The demonstrated tuning range of the Ce:LiCAF oscillator providing reproducibly-single-pulse output was 282 nm to 314 nm with the maximum output energy of 1 mJ. Tunable laser output from 223 nm to 232 nm was obtained by sum-frequency-mixing Ce:LiCAF laser output with fundamental output of a Q-sw Nd:YAG laser. The maximum subnanosecond Ce:LiCAF single-pulse output of 14 mJ was obtained in a "master oscillator-power amplifier" (MOPA) configuration.
