A novel double grazing-incidence single-mode dye laser
Abstract
Using only one grating and plane parallel glass plate in a novel double-grazing incidence configuration, twice higher dispersion is obtained, resulting in twofold narrowing of the single-pass linewidth, compared to the single grazing-incidence scheme. This laser cavity design features several-times improved signal-to-noise ratio and enhanced stability. Single-mode operation of 210±50 MHz is demonstrated.
