Thick-film liquid dye lasers
Abstract
The light propagation and amplification through a planar dye laser are investigated by ray-tracing methods. The radiation lobe is then evaluated with the help of the Malus-Dupin theorem. The numerical results are in satisfactory quantitative agreement with the experiments, when the time evolution of the gradient of the complex refractive index is properly taken into account.
