Abstract
We present a novel, versatile framework to generate W-level temporally shaped, near transform-limited, UV picosecond pulses via non-colinear sum frequency generation and demonstrate it producing temporally flattop, high-power UV pulses capable of enhancing femtosecond- and attosecond-level electron and X-ray free electron lasers brightness.
