Abstract
A compact setup for generation frequency stabilization and precision tuning of UV laser radiation at 313 nm was developed The source is based on frequency quintupling of a Cband telecom laser at 1565 nm amplified in a fiber amplifier The maximum output power of the source at 313 nm is 100 mW An additional feature of the source is the highpower output at the fundamental and the intermediate second and thirdharmonic wavelengths The source was tested by demonstration of laser cooling of Be+ ions in an iontrap apparatus The output of the source at the thirdharmonic wavelength 522 nm was used for stabilization of the laser frequency to molecular iodine transitions SubDoppler spectroscopy and frequency measurements of hyperfine transitions in molecular iodine were carried out in the range relevant for the Be+ laser cooling application
