Excimer‐pumped dye laser with high beam quality

A novel design for a dye cuvette used in an excimer‐pumped dye laser is described. The cuvette consists of a thin‐walled quartz tube illuminated equally from four sides. This, combined with the focusing action of the dye‐filled tube, results in a homogeneous excitation of the central core of the dye...

Zusammenfassung:A novel design for a dye cuvette used in an excimer‐pumped dye laser is described. The cuvette consists of a thin‐walled quartz tube illuminated equally from four sides. This, combined with the focusing action of the dye‐filled tube, results in a homogeneous excitation of the central core of the dye volume and a near TEM (00) output beam is obtained at moderate repetition frequencies. Sufficient data are provided to allow interfacing of the cuvette with standard oscillator‐amplifier arrangements.
