Narrowband tunable dye laser with amplifier pumped by powerful nitrogen laser
Abstract
A dye laser with a single amplification stage pumped by a nitrogen laser is investigated. The use of the laser/amplitude system significantly increases the maximum pulse power (up to 120 kW) and laser efficiency (up to 17%), and reduces the angular divergence of the laser radiation by a factor of 1.5. The technical characteristics of a device employing solutions of organic compounds and incorporating an amplifier and a radiation frequency converter are presented.
