As reported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese researchers have made a groundbreaking advancement by successfully cultivating a 'Chinese-branded' ammonium borofluoride (ABF) crystal. This innovation marks the first-ever achievement of direct frequency-doubled vacuum ultraviolet laser emission at 158.9 nanometers. This milestone holds immense strategic significance, particularly in the realms of precision manufacturing and cutting-edge scientific exploration.

Previously, China's pioneering development of the KBBF crystal in the 1990s dominated the industry for over three decades. Now, the ABF crystal has surpassed expectations by setting three new world records in the domain of direct frequency-doubled vacuum ultraviolet laser technology.
