Longitudinally pumped dye laser arrangement

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5995458
A longitudinally pumped dye laser arrangement is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a unitary optical means, means for containing a lasing medium dye solution and means for reflecting lasing radiation towards the unitary optical means. The dye solution is located between the unitary optical means and the reflecting means. The reflecting means is proximate the dye solution. The unitary optical means is positioned relative to the containing means to focus a pumping beam into the dye solution and to collimate lasing radiation emerging from the containing means into an essentially parallel beam. This arrangement provides an economical and easily aligned longitudinally pumped dye laser.
