N2 - We demonstrate 290 nm lasing and femtosecond amplification using a micro-pulling-down method-grown Ce:LiCaAlF6 crystal, which was excited using dual-side- and four-side-pumping schemes. These results show that the flexibility and lower cost of this growth technique as well as the multi-side pumping configurations provide good prospects for high-power ultraviolet generation that will enhance the applications of the Ce:LiCaAlF 6 laser and amplifier.
