Dispersive alexandrite lasers
Abstract
A theoretical evaluation of multiple-prism Littrow (MPL) and hybrid multiple-prism grazing-incidence (HMPGI) alexandrite oscillators is presented. It is found that for long-pulse lasing (400 ns at FWHM) this type of oscillator should easily provide single- and double-longitudinal-mode oscillation at energy levels approaching 10 mJ per pulse. A comparison with MPL and HMPGI narrow-linewidth flashlamp-pumped dye laser oscillators is also provided.
