good beam quality and high repetition rate 355 nm ultraviolet laser is obtained by sum frequency mixing back and forth. The 4.2 W 355 nm laser is obtained at the pump power of 28.6 W and the repetition frequency of 20 kHz
with the pulse width as short as 20.6 ns. The optical to optical conversion efficiency is about 14.7%. The beam quality factor
