For planetology applications, a SuperCam type laser emitting in the UV region (266 nm or 355 nm) would be of great interest. We investigated Third Harmonic Generation (THG) and Fourth Harmonic Generation (FHG) in LBO crystal and BBO crystal respectively. For potential lunar mission on vehicle smaller than a Curiosity class rover, we designed a laser based on SuperCam heritage focusing on size and mass reduction for a compact LIBS instrument.
