Flashlamp-pumped submicrosecond dye laser

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
A laser flashlamp pumping system having an input energy of 330 J and a pulse duration of approx.230 nsec was developed experimentally and tests were made using a solution of rhodamine 6G under lasing conditions. The maximum lasing energy was 1.1 J, the efficiency was 0.33%, the angle of divergence of the beam at half-energy in a planar resonator was 1.2--1.3 mrad, and the illumination of an ethanol solution of rhodamine 6G halved the output energy when the intensity was 170 kJ/liter.
