A reliable high power repetitive pulsed dye laser
Abstract
A reliable Rhodamine 6G dye laser pumped by eight preionized linear flashlamps in a closely coupled arrangement is described. Megawatt pulses of 2.5 μs duration with a low divergence (<0.2 mrd) and a repitition rate up to 10 Hz are produced.
