Electro-optic tuning of organic dye laser
A dye laser tuning system is described that consists of a laser cavity including a lasing cell, and bounded at one end by a laser output mirror; reflecting means at the opposite end of the cavity for retrogressively reflecting those wavelengths that are incident at the retrogressive angle unique to each wavelength; and laser beam deflecting means in the cavity and in the optical path between the cell and reflecting means for electro-optically tuning the laser to oscillate at selected wavelengths in response to an electrical signal, including an electro-optic, beam deflection cell comprising a plurality of like members in contact, each having axial properties and a first, second and third axis, with the first axis of the first of the members oppositely oriented to the first axis of the second of the members.
