A modeless, variable bandwidth, tunable laser
Abstract
A novel design of "laser" is described which produces a modeless output giving a continuous spectral distribution and a continuously variable bandwidth. Efficiencies and bandwidths are obtained comparable to convetional laser pumped dye laser. The device is suitable for studies of laser bandwidth effects in resonant interactions and nonlinear processes using high power pulsed lasers.
