Multiwavelength discriminator and display system for solid-state lasers
Abstract
A technique is described which converts a single-beam absorption measurement into a de facto dual-beam measurement affording real-time calibration. The technique utilizes the narrow wavelength relaxation oscillations from within the long-pulse emission of a solid-state laser. It is used to measure the absorption line profiles of atmospheric gases.
